Pursuant to the Statutory Instruments Act 1947, as amended, the Attorney General has the power, where certain criteria are met, to exempt certain statutory instruments from the operation of that Act. Statutory instruments so exempted do not require to be issued with a statutory instrument number. Since the Department was established in June 2002, my Ministerial predecessors and I have signed no unnumbered statutory instruments.
