The Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (9 & 10 Geo. 6. c. 36) is an Act of the United Kingdom Parliament which governs the making of statutory instruments.[1]
Until 2011 the act also governed Scottish statutory instruments made under acts of the Scottish Parliament.[2] Until 2019, the act also governed Welsh statutory instruments made under acts of Senedd Cymru, acts of the National Assmebly for Wales, and measures of the National Assembly for Wales.[3]
The Statutory Rules (Northern Ireland) Order 1979 provides a similar function for Acts of the Parliament of Northern Ireland and Act of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
