Tashin miss,
Apart from the act 1911 salvis bury adddison convention state that when member of parliament is
manifesting something in his vote house of lord can not disobey that !
The salvis bury Addison convention dictate that the house of lords should not opposs or reject
proposals that have been put to the electoret in their manifestos.
Post-legislative scrutiny
It is a act where electoret see how much he success in his voting objectives
Law commission can only sggest the parliament to change the laws of nation but they cannot change or
make the laws.
In 2006, the law commison in the UK propose a system by which government department would
examine how effective legislation have been at achieving its objective, however the problem is that
there is not enough political bill to do so and the focus remains on getting legislation made and not
checking on how well they have been implemented.

Delegated legislation transferring the law making power to the delegate when the parliament is busy in
something they give their power to the excuitive under them to make law.

Courts can review the delegate legislation and declare them invalid if the excuitives make laws by acting
beyond the powers that is given to them in a statute.

the court as the delegated legislation was not made following the procedures mention in the
inenabling act.
In Deeley limited, the high court invalidated the regulation since the tex commissioner had acted
beyond the powers given in the statute.

Pro.king : constitution is the set of the most important rules that regulated difference.
What is the constitution: it is the superior law. When other law rival with the constitution law
constitution law will always win beside it, it the most superior and other law is inferior.
[marbury vs madison] Anything which is beyond constitution is will be erased but in UK is wouldn’t be

republic/democratic and also it can be presidential and parliamentary and federal and unity.

40days
Parliamentary committee:

Suggested article: mac russel, m.d. david gover page 77 of subject guide
Definations:
Define the primary legislation: the primary legislation or statutes made by the UK parliament which is
the highest form of law, since UK doesn’t have the codified law mean constitution. Laws made by the
parliament cannot be struck down by the courts of UK for being unconstitutional.
Most bills which are draft legislations are introduced by the government. However, they may also be
introduced by the individual members of House of Commons or House of Lords in which case, such bills
known as private member bills. Before the legislative process begins, draft bills can also be send for
three legislative scrutiny. Pre legislative scrutiny: this is a detail examination of draft version the bill that
is done by the parliamentary committees before the final version of the bill is drafted. However, it is
seen that in many cases government is unwilling to send bill for pre-legislative scrutiny in order to avoid
criticism. For instants/ for example above 150 civil organizations Conservative MPS and the member of
the opposition had demanded that the government should have send the BRITISH bill of right 2022.
Article:- what are they so afraid of --- MPS called for pre legislative scrutiny for the propose bill of right.
Once a bill is finalist, in order to it become an act of parliament, it will need a approval of house of
commons and house of lords and royal assent. However, royal assent is more over formality as it is
never refused. Since the convention dictated that the Monarch will always assent to a bill. The legislative
stages in the House of Commons and House of Lords are similar apart from first reading committee
stage and third reading.

JENNINGS
DEFINATION: THEY PROVIDES THE FRESH WHICH CLOTHES THE DRY BONE OF THE
LAW ; THEY MAKE THE LEGAL COSNTITUITON WORK; THEY KEEP IT INTOUCH WITH
GROWTH OF THE IDEAS.
Ans :
1. For the breach of legal rule the political actors can be punish but for the non-legal they
cant be punish
2. The legal rule always comes from the parliament but the non-legal rule comes from
tradition or social binding.
3. The legal rules always enforceable by the executive but it’s not enforceable by them
Ans: to divide the power to the electorates of the peoples or citizens. Besides it’s ensure the
democratic power to sure. Convention are followed to because breach of convention attract
political criticism and as such the constitutions actors feel their obligated to followed the
constitution
Answers: if we want to end any convention than we have breach that convention continual until
its disappear from everywhere.
Failure to complied with the convention may cause it to disappear. So, example: if a person to
whom the convention apply no longer feels bound to follow the convention , the convention will
cease to exist.
Constitutional function:
there are few function of the constitution which are called constitutions function:
constitution is a document which gives us the broader principles and guidences for the
effective government of the country. Its broadly perfomces the function—
1. Its deal with Allocation of the power and function of the organs of the state
2. Its deal with the in-relationship of the organs of the state
3. It’s deal with relation between the state and citizens
State relation with citizen: state give beniffit to the citizen and the citizen have
some responsibility, it’s called social contract. There a proverb saying that the
citizen live in their country because there are in a social contract with country.
There are some layer from where the state save a citizen from somethings
In the first layer they save us from bad element, in the 2nd layer state save us
from external element , in the 3rd layers If the state harm or hurt a citizen there
a step where a citizen can be save from the state which is given in constitution
and all other things like legislature, parliament, judiciary, execuitive comes in
that layers.
The social contreact can’t be reached to a perfect stage but it’s vary to
different country.
Let’s go to the classification to the constitution
Classification of constitution:
There can be two classification of constitution-
But definitely the written part t]have the most important. We have remember one thing which
constution arragment . if the any part have the most impact in the constitution arragment that part wll
be called written and another one will called unwritten.
There a tricky part when we have to match the codified and uncodified constitution with written and
unwritten constitution.
Codified means the constitution is united in one place but the uncodified is scattered. The codified
constitution is always written. But the confusing part is uncodified constitution can be written and
unwritten. If the uncodified constitution’s written part have more impact in the constitution arragment
it is uncodified written and another one is unwritten.
UK ‘S CONSTITUTION JOURNEY STARTED IN 12TH CENTURY WHEN THE MAGNEKATA HAPPENED AND IT
EVER EVOLVING . THE CONSTITUTION CHANGES WITH THE POLITICAL STAGES AND A COUNTRIES
CONSTITUTION TOTALLY DEPEND ON THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
IN THE LAST 30 YEAR UK have gone through lots of constitutional reformed. So it’s still unknown UK
current position . there in the constitutional uncertainty.
There already a constitution reformed committee form in UK recently that the UK’S constitution should
be codified or uncodified.

SOME QUESTION:
By using this test the royal assent can be easily identify as a convention.
Because the practices of giving royal assent remain unbroken for more than a
period of 300years which clearly shows that the monarch feels that it is bound
by such a rule. Lastly There is a reason to be existed because the power
should lie before the elected and the monarch should not be given the
opportunity to obstruct the work of the parliament in making laws.
This particular test works well with the convention of the royal assent but it
does not work effectively or it not as clear cut with others convention like the
convention of UK government seeking approval from the parliament before
deploying troops. It also does not work well with the convention of individual
ministerial responsibility as minister do not always reigned due their personal
misconduct or there is a failure or short coming in their department.
Ministerial responsibility:
it is a kind of convention. Convention basically unwritten but ministerial responsibility is
exception and its written. Ministerial responsibility is a convention which is no longer unwritten.
As they can be found in the MINISTERIAL COURTS. Ministerial responsibility can be broken in
2 parts---
A. Confidence rule
B. Confidentiality rule
C. Unanimity rule
a. Personal conduct
b. Official conduct
Even though the convention has been recorded in the ministerial court the consequences of
breaching the constitutional convention of ministerial responsibility are political and not legal as
such it is ultimately the prime minister who ensures compliance with the court and the maximum
punishment for breaching a convention is dismissal or resignation from ones ministerial position.
If the majority of the house doesn’t have confidence about their government and they have to
step down. The government must resigned if it loses the confidence of the house of commons,
in 2019 the than prime minister, Theresa May survived the no confidence motion by 19 votes
27/10/2022
There are two convention which are known as CMR AND IMR. If a minister don’t any rule of
it PM can sue them with the help of CMR OR IMR.
CMR IS DIVIDED IN 3 PART—
1. CONFIDENCE
EXAMPLE : in 1979 the CALER HANT GOVERNMENT resigned has they lost the vote of
confidence in the HOUSE OF COMMONS as a result of which it had to resigned.
2. CONFIDENTIAL:
Confidential rule: the confidential rule require that discussion between minister in the cabinet
meeting must remained confidential. This rule helps in upholding unanimity rule because it’s
ensure that commence express by a minister in regard to a policy in private is not leaked so
as to hinder the ability of the minister to publicly support or defend that policy
The unanimity rule require all minister to publicly support government policies regardless of
whether they personally agree with those policies. A minister who cannot publicly support
the government policies should resigned. For example : in 2003 ROBIN COOK AND
CLARE SHORT resigned over UKs involvement in IRAQ war.
RESEARCH WORK: NAME FEW MINISTER BECAUSE THEY DID NOT SUPPORT
BREXIT NEGOTIATION?
The utility behind unanimity rule is that it’s prevent minister from invading accountability that
is their duty to explain and defend government policies. Its prevent minister from claiming
that they should not held accountable by the parliament, simply because they did not agree
in the policy.
Convention can be encourage and acknowledge by court but court cannot force you to
follow the convention.

JUDICIAL REVIEW
WHAT IS JUDICIAL REVIEW (JR)?
- CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE OF JR
- NATURE AND SCOPE OF JR
DEFINATION: A process by which individual ,business and other affected parties can challenge the
lawfulness of decisions, actions or inactions of the executive, including those of government minister,
local authorities, other public bodies and those exercising public functions;
1. COLIATION GOVERNMENT :
In 2010, the cabinet was form of minister from different political party THIS MEAN THERE
WOULD BE WIDER RANGE OF VIEW ON PLICIES MATTER THAN A SITUATION WHERE THE
CABINATE WA MADE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM ONE POLITICAL PARTY. THEREFORE
DURING THIS TIME MINISTRY ALLOWED to speak their mind like nuclear power
policies, student fees increase, tax for married couple.
2. Free votes:
3 votes are matter of conscience this are matter like abortion where member of political party
are instructed on how they should vote.
3. EU REFERENDUM:
The Unanimity rule was suspended during the referendums on the membership of the
EU in 2016 and in 1975 to allowed different views to be shared on the matter.
Example:
In 1982, MR.WHITELAW did not RESIGNED over a breach of security at the BUCKINGHAM
PALACE OR WHEN A INTRODER ENTER IN THE QUEEN BED ROOM. Likewise JAMES
PRIOR and MICHAEL HAWARD they did not resigned when a terrorist escape a prison.
Education secretary GAVIN Williamson did not take the blame for it and stated that It was the
fault of the head of OFQUAL.
Because during afghan conflict he was on holidays beside he ask his fellow juniors during that
time and delegate the juniors on afghan conflict beside it led to around 457 UK deaths and a
afghan translator were left behind on CRETE and DOMINIC were in holidays he even ask his
fellow minister to assist the matter. This why he was under pressure but he didn’t resigned
because he tell them he wasn’t inform by his juniors and he was not in duty that time.
