§ 63. Mr. J. Fosterasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what arrangements have been made for the publication of sub-delegated legislation as the result of the decision of Blackpool Corporation and Locker.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallSo far as Acts passed before 1st January, 1948, are concerned, the publication of sub-delegated legislation is governed by the provisions of the Statutory Instruments Act, 1946, and the Statutory Instruments Regulations, 1948, made thereunder. Under these Regulations such legislation is not precluded from being a Statutory Instrument or from being published by reason solely of the fact that it is made by virtue of powers conferred not directly by an Act of Parliament but by an instrument which is itself made under, or derives from, an Act. So far as sub-delegated legislation under Acts passed after 1st January, 1948, is concerned, the point falls to be dealt with in the enabling Act itself.
