FUNCTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE 2. Your Committee was guided in all its deliberations by Standing Order No. 154 (4) which sets out the functions of your Committee as follows: “The Committee shall scrutinise and report to the House, through Mr Speaker, whether the powers to make orders, regulations, rules, sub-rules and by-laws delegated by Parliament are being properly exercised by any person or authority within such delegation. As the machinery of delegated legislation is dealt with under the heading “Statutory Instruments”, these instruments must: (a) be in accordance with the Constitution or statute under which they are made; (b) not trespass unduly on personal rights and liberties; (c) not make the rights and liberties of citizens depend upon administrative decisions; and (d) be concerned only with administrative detail and not amount to substantive legislation which is a matter for parliamentary enactment.” If your Committee is of the opinion that a Statutory Instrument should be revoked wholly or in part or should be amended in any respect, it reports that opinion and the ground thereof to the House.
