Legislative Instruments Act 1978

Every regulation that is required to be laid before Parliament is, when made, referred by force of this section to the Legislative Review

Committee of the Parliament.

If a Minister issues a certificate under section 10AA(2) in relation to a regulation, the

Minister must cause a report setting out the reasons for the issue of the certificate to be given to the Committee as soon as practicable after the making of the regulation.

The Committee must inquire into and consider all regulations referred to it.

The Committee must consider all regulations as soon as conveniently practicable after they are referred to the Committee and, if Parliament is then in session, must do so before the end of the period within which any motion for disallowance of the regulations may be moved in either House of

Parliament.

If the Committee forms the opinion that any regulations ought to be disallowed—

it must report the opinion and the grounds for the opinion to both

Houses of Parliament before the end of the period within which any motion for disallowance of the regulations may be moved in either House; and

if Parliament is not in session, it may, before reporting to

Parliament, report the opinion and the grounds for the opinion to the authority by which the regulations were made.
