Hybrid instruments[edit]

The sentence: Hybrid instruments - statutory instruments which need to be approved by both Houses and affect some members of a group (whether individuals or bodies) more than others in the same group may be incorrect. Are they not a special form of primary (not secondary) legislation? Arrivisto (talk) 15:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Devolved parliaments[edit]

Describing Acts of the devolved parliaments as secondary legislation is both misleading and contrary to every reference I have ever seen outside of the Human Rights Act (where they are so defined as used *in that act*, where there are specific reasons that you'd want to define them as such). What sort of sources do you need to show that this absolutely needs to change? 2A00:23C0:C217:9C00:B0E2:93D2:F07D:A518 (talk) 05:10, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Reliable sources. It would be helpful for you to elaborate on the "specific reasons", also with a citation. — Scott • talk 13:13, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
