Explanation

The Committee on Subordinate Legislation is related to the delegated power given to the executive to frame rules and regulations. The function of this parliamentary committee is to examine whether the powers conferred by the Constitution or delegated by Parliament—such as making rules, regulations, sub-rules, schemes, or other statutory instruments—are being properly exercised by the executive or not. Both Houses of Parliament have their own Committee on Subordinate Legislation, in which 15 members are nominated from the concerned House by the Speaker/Chairman, as the case may be.
