Statutory Instruments

HC Deb 19 June 1978 vol 952 c45W

Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection how many Statutory Instruments have been laid before the House under his authority in each of the past five years.

Mr. Hattersley

My Department was set up in March 1974 and so the first figure does not cover a whole year:

1974	29
1975	50
1976	54
1977	50

Twenty-two Statutory Instruments have been laid to date in 1978.
