Remit The Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments (JCSI) is appointed to consider statutory instruments made in exercise of powers granted by Act of Parliament. Instruments not laid before Parliament are included within the Committee’s remit; but local instruments and instruments made by devolved administrations are not considered by JCSI unless they are required to be laid before Parliament. The role of the JCSI, whose membership is drawn from both Houses of Parliament, is to assess the technical qualities of each instrument that falls within its remit and to decide whether to draw the special attention of each House to any instrument on one or more of the following grounds: i that it imposes, or sets the amount of, a charge on public revenue or that it requires payment for a licence, consent or service to be made to the Exchequer, a government department or a public or local authority, or sets the amount of the payment; ii that its parent legislation says that it cannot be challenged in the courts; iii that it appears to have retrospective effect without the express authority of the parent legislation; iv that there appears to have been unjustifiable delay in publishing it or laying it before Parliament; v that there appears to have been unjustifiable delay in sending a notification under the proviso to section 4(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act 1946, where the instrument has come into force before it has been laid; vi that there appears to be doubt about whether there is power to make it or that it appears to make an unusual or unexpected use of the power to make; vii that its form or meaning needs to be explained; viii that its drafting appears to be defective; ix any other ground which does not go to its merits or the policy behind it. The Committee usually meets weekly when Parliament is sitting. Publications © Parliamentary Copyright House of Commons 2019.

  • The Third Whig
    DIVISION OF THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY PASADENA, CALIFORNIA 91125 The Third Whig J. Kent Clark HUMANITIES WORKING PAPER 147 August 1991 The Third Whig J. Kent Clark Abstract THE THIRD WHIG is the fifth chapter of my biography of Thomas Wharton, later 5th Baron, 1st Earl, and 1st Marquess of Wharton (and Tom Wharton, or Honest Tom to political England). The chapter picks up the story after Tom's marriage to a wealthy heiress and his election to Parliament as a Member from Wendover, and it endeavors to explain some of the political crises and grotesqueries that made Tom's subsequent political career and his famous political party possible. Since I am anxious to make Tom Wharton understandable to anyone who can read-not merely to experts on 17th-century politics-and since I am particularly concerned to explain him to his countrymen, who in general are at least as vague about their own history as Americans are about theirs, I have been obliged to rehearse some facts that will seem disgustingly familiar to some professionals and endlessly debatable to others. I am persuaded, however, that another tour through the events that helped produce the Whig party and the English Revolution is a wholesome and fascinating exercise-especially since the events look different from the vantage, or disadvantage, point of the 1990s, and since the cast of characters alone warrants the trip. I have included a table of abbreviations and a list of short titles to help readers who are so inclined to follow the end-notes.
