Subsidiary legislation refers to any proclamation, rule, regulation, order, resolution, notice, rule of court, bylaw or
other instrument made by designated authorities under or by virtue of relevant ordinances and having legislative effect. Such legislation is subject to the Council’s scrutiny through a positive or negative vetting procedure. Members or public officers may move motions in the Council to amend subsidiary legislation.
Papers tabled in Council include annual reports of government departments and public bodies, as well as reports of the Council’s committees. Members and public officers may address the Council on these reports.
