It is based on new research involving an analysis of nearly 30,000 pieces of delegated legislation; detailed investigation of 46 recent regulations based on in-depth interviews with those involved in developing, writing and scrutinising them and a major survey of nearly 400 interest groups. Delegated legislation is examined as a form of "everyday policy-making". It deals with important issues, from the level of welfare benefits to weapons exports, animal health and the prevention of air pollution, yet has been largely ignored in studies of the British political and administrative system. This book analyses the distinctive character of everyday policy making and the implications of how it works for our understanding of British democracy 606 $aDelegated legislation$zGreat Britain 606 $2Constitutional & administrative law 606 $aPolicy sciences 615 0$aDelegated legislation 615 0$aPolicy sciences. 676 $a328.41 676 $a342.42066 676 $a352.340942 700 $aPage$b Edward$0141243 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784258103321 996 $aGoverning by numbers$93790344 997 $aUNINA
