Delegated legislation (secondary legislation) is law that is not made by Parliament but with its authority. Parliament does not have the time or resources to make all the law needed in society and there are often circumstances in which it is more convenient for Parliament to delegate the responsibility to others. A topical example lies in the powers that will be given to government ministers in the Great Repeal Bill that is intended to incorporate existing EU law into UK law. These ministers will then be able to amend certain laws without primary legislation (i.e. Acts of Parliament).
