Statutory Instruments

Statutory Instruments are government orders or regulations made by a Minister under the authority of a specific Act of Parliament. They are numbered according to the calendar year and a new sequence begins annually. Consequently it is necessary to cite both the year and the serial number when referring to them. Statutory Instruments of each year are subsequently published in bound volumes arranged numerically. An annual index is contained in the last of each year's volumes. The Law Library has a complete set of Statutory Instruments from 1945 shelved at STA-340 and the Main Library has a set of unbound Statutory Instruments from 1975 located at Statutory Instruments. Statutory instruments are indexed in `Guide to Government Orders`, located in the Law Library at STA 340, alphabetically by subject. Statutory Instruments do not appear in the Stationery Office monthly and annual catalogues but in separate monthly and annual Lists of Statutory Instruments. Copies of these lists are located in the Main Library at Statutory Instruments and in the Law Library at STA 340. The full text of Statutory Instruments from 1987 is available from the UK Parliament Web pages, http://www.hmso.gov.uk/stat.htm.
