Mr. Hutton

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many of the powers to make statutory instruments exercisable by the Secretary of State under primary legislation enacted since 1979 are subject to(a) the negative and (b) the affirmative resolution procedure. [9585]

Mr. Robin Squire

This information cannot be supplied other than at disproportionate cost, but the overwhelming majority of statutory instruments which are subject to parliamentary procedure are subject to the negative procedure.
