2.6 Statute Law Bills

Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bills are useful for minor amendments of a housekeeping nature ranging more widely across the Statute Book as a whole. A Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill is generally introduced and carried by the Leader of the House, since the Bill involves Acts administered by a number of different Ministers. Matters are suitable for inclusion in a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill only if they are concise, minor and non-controversial. Because of the low priority of these Bills, amendments should be included only if they are not required to be passed within a particular time.
