Elections and representation of the people

492 criminal offences created by 74 statutory instruments.

This subject is one this project added. The catalogue it extends drew its subjects from where strict liability is discussed — road traffic, food, health and safety — while the offences secondary legislation actually creates cluster elsewhere. Forcing them into “miscellaneous” would have hidden that.
