vast amount of delegated legislation makes it very complicated to use
huge amounts are made each year - over 3000 staturoty
difficult to discover what the current law is as there is lots of places to look
delegated legislation is not easily published - apposed to Acts of Parliament
too much delegated legislation is made privately
language used is too complex
same criticism of parliament
obscure and difficult language
hard for lay people to understand - goes against the rule of law
