Bushra Khanom M1Laws made by parliament (Act of Parliament)
Laws in this case can be made very quickly as long as the government is supporting the law
making. An example of this includes the Election Act 2001 where it was postponed due to
the foot and mouth disease which had effected a lot of people, this is why it had only taken
8 days to gain royal assent. Altering a law can be completed very quickly for the parliament
to be doing it, an example of this is that it only took 2 weeks for the parliament to go
through the statutory instrument with the act of Dangerous Dogs Act as the parliament
wanted to add two other types of breed of dogs into the list of banned dogs, but when this
came into act the statutory act was into force. However, laws made by judges is time
consuming as the laws would need to go through the whole court hierarchies. But on the
other hand not every type of law is made very quickly by the parliament, this is because
they would have to go through every single legislative stages a bill had to go through and
this could take up to a year or more of doing so that it is able to become an act of
parliament. Whereas, as the royal is a stage, a stage cannot argue, this is why other
individuals would argue, but this type of law making is funded by the public itself through
the form of tax payers, this is so that the problem is shared. This shows that laws are made
quicker in the parliament rather than with judges as the parliament would only need
support the law whereas judges have a longer process to go through to make new laws.
MP’s do not need to have any sort of legal qualification an example in this case is Louise
Mensch, who was an author before she had become an MP, but now she has retired.
Individuals who wish to be an MP need to be over the age of 18 and a British citizen or a
citizen who is a part of a commonwealth county or in the republic of Ireland. Applicants
must be selected by 10 members of the parliamentary electors on whom they wish to join
with, this is so that they are able to reassure that only hardworking candidates can stand.
But a price of £500 is required when anyone submits a nominated paper. But on the other
hand a judge would need to go through a long process as they would have to practice as a
solicitor or a barrister for at least 10 years before they can become a judge, this shows that
being part of a parliament is quicker than being judge.
The background of any MP’s are mainly middle aged white males, but these statistics show
that out of 650 MP’s only a small percentage of 23% of them are females, which is 148. This
shows that the background of an MP is similar to the background of a judge. Also only 27 of
them have a BME background which is 4%. The youngest MP is 29 but the average age of an
MP is 50.
Bills are firstly introduced to the Parliament; this is before any sorts of draft laws. There is
regular discussion and consultations being held with any parties who are interested in this,
parties include any professional bodies or pressure groups and also any sorts of voluntary
organisations. The different types of people that Michael Gove comments from are
individuals who want to reform their maths and English GCSE’s, or who were head teachers,
local authorities, employer of the business sector, subject associations such as awarding
