delegated legislation is law made by a person or body to whom parliment has delegated law making power 

- new laws often need to complete more detailed rules--- 

parliment does not have time/ expertise--- to make detailed legislation 

REASON FOR DETAILED LAW 

- new law for  a specific area for which requires speicalist local knowledge 

- on a technical matter such as health or agriculture will require specialist technical knowledge 

- sometimes an emergency or a new situation may require new law to be made very quickly

also the formal legislative process requiring readings in both houses of parlimant is not suitbale where there is an emergency 

---- for these reasons necessary for parliment to delegate law making to bodies that are better equpped
