Discuss (b) Henry VIII clause

The meaning: the subordinate law-making — the executive's rules-regulations-under the statute's authority (the parent act's delegation; the child instrument's limits). The importance: the modern state's machinery (the statute's skeleton + the rules' flesh); the volume (the rules outnumber the acts); the specialisation (the technical schedules); the speed (the market's-and- emergency's quick adjustments); the flexibility (the amendment's ease).
