What proportion of UK statutory instruments are passed using the negative resolution procedure?
<p>I know that most EU directives are implemented via Statutory Instruments passed via the negative resolution procedure, but is this procedure commonly used for law with a UK origin?</p>

<p>On average, about 90% (<a href="https://www.parliament.uk/documents/commons-information-office/l07.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">source</a>, <a href="https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN06509" rel="nofollow noreferrer">source</a>)</p>

<p>For session-by-session numbers, the <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/commons/Sessional-Returns/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Sessional Returns</a> page of the Parliament website lists statistics for previous sessions, including a breakdown of statutory instruments.</p>

<p>For example, in the <a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/csession/1/108.htm#_idTextAnchor033" rel="nofollow noreferrer">2016-17 session</a>, we can see that 166 affirmative instruments were presented to the House, alongside 537 negative instruments.</p>

<p>Overwhelmingly, yes.</p>
