From time to time, the Office of the Chief Parliamentary Counsel issues notes for guidance in the preparation of statutory rules. These notes are primarily aimed at legislation officers in Government departments who are responsible for the preparation of statutory rules. The notes give guidance on the procedure for preparing and making statutory rules and on the form and content of statutory rules. The most recent version of the Notes for Guidance can be found below.
