Abstract

The article talks about the 2015 refusal by Great Britain's House of Lords to approve a tax credit statutory instrument that threatened to create a constitutional stand-off. Topics discussed include a review over the power of the Lords over statutory instruments called the Strathclyde review, parliamentary committees' reports in response to the review, and a study on the delegated legislation system in Great Britain.
