285e55d1-5cba-4d1a-800e-fc77d6d93393-0
00:00:02.820 --> 00:00:07.426
Here we're going to look at a
set of regulations, the Shared

285e55d1-5cba-4d1a-800e-fc77d6d93393-1
00:00:07.426 --> 00:00:11.580
Parental Leave Regulations 2014
on legislation.gov.uk.

b9e01321-01a3-49f7-9e35-6e3b668e0668-0
00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:18.138
This one is divided into parts
and chapters, but as with Acts,

b9e01321-01a3-49f7-9e35-6e3b668e0668-1
00:00:18.138 --> 00:00:22.743
not all regulations are divided
in such ways, particularly if

b9e01321-01a3-49f7-9e35-6e3b668e0668-2
00:00:22.743 --> 00:00:24.600
they're somewhat shorter.

d3cb8517-9fbc-4c91-91e2-65d61e96b217-0
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.730
We have introductory tax like we
did with Acts of Parliament.

1f33ede1-19c5-4346-8346-41e8cafba664-0
00:00:30.930 --> 00:00:34.678
These ones look slightly
different to Acts of Parliament

1f33ede1-19c5-4346-8346-41e8cafba664-1
00:00:34.678 --> 00:00:38.822
and what you will see is some
information about when they were

1f33ede1-19c5-4346-8346-41e8cafba664-2
00:00:38.822 --> 00:00:42.833
made and 18th of November 2014
in this case and when they're

1f33ede1-19c5-4346-8346-41e8cafba664-3
00:00:42.833 --> 00:00:46.780
due to come into force, which
was the 1st of December 2014.

6ef25f61-b398-420c-a76f-265aea02f720-0
00:00:47.540 --> 00:00:51.936
And because regulations are a
form of secondary legislation,

6ef25f61-b398-420c-a76f-265aea02f720-1
00:00:51.936 --> 00:00:56.044
that means there must have been
a power in a main act of

6ef25f61-b398-420c-a76f-265aea02f720-2
00:00:56.044 --> 00:01:00.080
parliament that gave the
Secretary of State or somebody

6ef25f61-b398-420c-a76f-265aea02f720-3
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:03.683
else the power to make these
regulations. And the

6ef25f61-b398-420c-a76f-265aea02f720-4
00:01:03.683 --> 00:01:08.080
introductory text will tell us
that. So we can see here that

6ef25f61-b398-420c-a76f-265aea02f720-5
00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:12.692
the power was with the Secretary
of State, and the Secretary of

6ef25f61-b398-420c-a76f-265aea02f720-6
00:01:12.692 --> 00:01:16.872
State was exercising powers
conferred by various sections

6ef25f61-b398-420c-a76f-265aea02f720-7
00:01:16.872 --> 00:01:20.260
that came from the Employment
Rights Act 1996.

97ddd04a-ce31-4ae7-9237-24e02d97758c-0
00:01:20.590 --> 00:01:24.101
So it was the Employment Rights
Act 1996 that was the primary

97ddd04a-ce31-4ae7-9237-24e02d97758c-1
00:01:24.101 --> 00:01:27.557
legislation that gave the power
to the Secretary of State to

97ddd04a-ce31-4ae7-9237-24e02d97758c-2
00:01:27.557 --> 00:01:28.860
make these regulations.

fad899d3-b726-4eb2-9cce-40de3dedb508-0
00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:37.540
As you'll see with Axe, we also
have schedules towards the

fad899d3-b726-4eb2-9cce-40de3dedb508-1
00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:38.230
bottom.

59354760-fb83-401d-b598-e80658f113de-0
00:01:39.220 --> 00:01:45.520
Unlike with Acts, you don't have
a

93db3053-2dae-45eb-90a1-30adfd28b924-0
00:01:45.860 --> 00:01:49.612
Explanatory Note that covers
everything that covers the

93db3053-2dae-45eb-90a1-30adfd28b924-1
00:01:49.612 --> 00:01:53.364
background and that covers how
all the provisions work.

93db3053-2dae-45eb-90a1-30adfd28b924-2
00:01:53.364 --> 00:01:57.452
Instead, what you have is an
explanatory memorandum and some

93db3053-2dae-45eb-90a1-30adfd28b924-3
00:01:57.452 --> 00:02:00.735
explanatory notes. The
explanatory Memorandum on

93db3053-2dae-45eb-90a1-30adfd28b924-4
00:02:00.735 --> 00:02:04.823
legislation.gov.uk is usually
towards the top with the tabs.

93db3053-2dae-45eb-90a1-30adfd28b924-5
00:02:04.823 --> 00:02:08.977
In this particular case it's
only viewable as a PDF, which is

93db3053-2dae-45eb-90a1-30adfd28b924-6
00:02:08.977 --> 00:02:13.065
why it's a little bit blurry at
the moment, but basically it

93db3053-2dae-45eb-90a1-30adfd28b924-7
00:02:13.065 --> 00:02:17.220
sets out the background to the
creation of these regulations.

8eadc4f5-6785-4431-83b9-16121e431e27-0
00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:21.078
And then the explanatory notes
themselves are towards the

8eadc4f5-6785-4431-83b9-16121e431e27-1
00:02:21.078 --> 00:02:25.173
bottom. We can see it here, just
under the schedule we've got the

8eadc4f5-6785-4431-83b9-16121e431e27-2
00:02:25.173 --> 00:02:28.647
explanatory note and it's not as
detailed or as long as

8eadc4f5-6785-4431-83b9-16121e431e27-3
00:02:28.647 --> 00:02:32.184
explanatory notes that you get
with axe and it just goes

8eadc4f5-6785-4431-83b9-16121e431e27-4
00:02:32.184 --> 00:02:36.030
through the different parts and
summarises what they're, what

8eadc4f5-6785-4431-83b9-16121e431e27-5
00:02:36.030 --> 00:02:39.877
they're there to do. So not as
as extensive as with an Act of

8eadc4f5-6785-4431-83b9-16121e431e27-6
00:02:39.877 --> 00:02:40.560
Parliament.

2e92e9e2-f175-41d8-a15c-b29c12cea98b-0
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:45.797
That's an introduction to
regulations. They work in very

2e92e9e2-f175-41d8-a15c-b29c12cea98b-1
00:02:45.797 --> 00:02:49.776
similar ways to Acts in that
when we talked about amendments

2e92e9e2-f175-41d8-a15c-b29c12cea98b-2
00:02:49.776 --> 00:02:53.819
of acts and we talked about, you
know, the insertions and the

2e92e9e2-f175-41d8-a15c-b29c12cea98b-3
00:02:53.819 --> 00:02:57.732
repeals and they all work in a
very similar way when you're

2e92e9e2-f175-41d8-a15c-b29c12cea98b-4
00:02:57.732 --> 00:03:01.319
looking at regulations or other
statutory instruments.

461b9c45-64d2-4e8a-9b5e-0667b68bdaf6-0
00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:07.970
