Statutory instruments will be laid before Parliament by a laying body. The duty of a body to lay papers before a House is imposed by an Act of Parliament.

The following queries provide a list of all statutory instruments laid before Parliament by laying body. The data in these queries goes back to the beginning of the 2017-19 session.

Queries have also been provided for Machinery of Government changes where Departments were merged, split and created (where they take on new responsibilities from another Department).
