Governing by Numbers is a jargon-free account of how delegated
legislation - laws that do not pass through the full legislative
scrutiny to which Acts of Parliament are subjected - is made. It is
based on new research involving an analysis of nearly 30,000 pieces
of delegated legislation; detailed investigation of 46 recent
regulations based on in-depth interviews with those involved in
developing, writing and scrutinising them and a major survey of
nearly 400 interest groups. Delegated legislation is examined as a
form of "everyday policy-making". It deals with important issues,
from the level of welfare benefits to weapons exports, animal
health and the prevention of air pollution, yet has been largely
ignored in studies of the British political and administrative
system. This book analyses the distinctive character of everyday
policy making and the implications of how it works for our
understanding of British democracy.
