525 criminal offences created by 144 statutory instruments.

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.
