Legislation falls into two categories – primary and secondary
legislation. Primary legislation comprises Acts of Parliament. Acts
often make provision for related, but more detailed, regulations
to be issued by means of statutory instruments. These statutory
instruments are known as secondary legislation. In Scotland, the
same relationship exists between Acts of the Scottish Parliament
and Scottish Statutory Instruments.
The full text of all the statutory instruments and Scottish statutory
instruments mentioned below can be found on the Office of Public
Sector Information website.
