Enabling Legislation
Enabling legislation should provide the machinery that is too detailed for the Constitution itself: committee powers, reporting duties, public body maps, redress statements, fiscal reporting duties, deadlock procedure and transitional arrangements.
Standing Orders
Standing Orders should supply the daily parliamentary practice: protected scrutiny days, committee workflows, delegated legislation scrutiny, annual accountability sessions and follow-up procedures.
