Statutory Instruments may be amended in accordance with the technical requirements of the relevant primary legislation. Normally this involves the Minister making the amendment in a new Statutory Instrument.

A suggestion to amend a particular Statutory Instrument may be made by anyone, preferably in writing to the Minister or Department, setting out the reasons why the amendment is being proposed. The matter will then be considered.
