Subordinate Legislation Committee

The Subordinate Legislation Committee was established in June 2007 in accordance with Standing Order 15.1. The Committee’s remit is set out in Standing Orders15.2 to 15.7. The Subordinate Legislation Committee considers the technical aspects of all statutory instruments or draft statutory instruments made by the Welsh Ministers and to report on whether the Assembly should pay special attention to the instrument or draft on any of the grounds set out in Standing Order 15.2. The Subordinate Legislation Committee may also undertake limited policy scrutiny of Assembly Measures without questioning the policy itself. Additionally, the Committee may report on the matters set out in Standing Order 15.3 or 15.6.

The Subordinate Legislation Committee usually meets every week and meetings are normally held in public.
