- Advantages of DL
- Need for Technical Expertise
- MPs do not have all the specific knowledge required to draft up laws on various areas, as modern society has become complicated and technical.
- DL gives expertise, so Parliament can debate the main principles thoroughly, allowing those with expert knowledge to fill in detail.
- Allows Consultation
- Consultation for important rules on technical matters ensures that regulations are technically workable.
- Allow quick law making
- The law making process takes a considerable amount of time.
- Therefore, DL is needed, especially in times of emergency, as OiCs can be made quickly.
- Easy to amend
- DL can be amended or revoked easily when necessary, to keep the law up to date.
- This useful for limits of the minimum wage or legal aid.
- DL allows Ministers to respond to new or unforeseen situations by amending regulations, made through SIs
- Need for Technical Expertise
