Delegated legislation refers to laws made by a person or body other than the legislature but with the authority of the legislature. This type of legislation can be controlled or scrutinized by the legislature through the process of parliamentary question time. In parliamentary question time, legislators can ask questions of government ministers, including those responsible for delegated legislation, to seek clarification or challenge any aspect of the legislation. This process helps to ensure that delegated legislation is within the scope of the enabling law, is not inconsistent with other laws, and is in the public interest.
