If you want to write to the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee we have prepared guidance explaining what we would find most useful and the appropriate format.

Guidance for the public ( PDF 73 KB)- we particularly welcome comments on SIs and Public Bodies Orders (PBOs) from the public or interest groups that help us understand how an instrument will work in practice.
We have also prepared guidance for government departments:
Guidance for departments on statutory instruments ( PDF 163 KB) - information on how the Committee scrutinises statutory instruments and what it is looking for in an effective Explanatory Memorandum

The Committee issued a call for evidence in November about the Government's new approach to consultation in preparation for a meeting on 11 December with Mr Oliver Letwin, Minister for Government Policy. The Call for Evidence is now closed.
