Question on: JAMB Government - 2024

Delegated legislation, which is law made by bodies other than the legislature (e.g., ministers, local authorities), is primarily regulated by the legislature. This is achieved through:

• Scrutiny Committees: These parliamentary committees examine delegated legislation to ensure it aligns with the parent act and the constitution.
• Parliamentary Debate: Parliament can debate and amend or even revoke delegated legislation.
• Laying before Parliament: Many delegated legislations are laid before Parliament, which gives the opportunity for scrutiny.

While other branches of government like the executive and judiciary have some roles, the most significant regulatory function lies with the legislature.
