The way legislative reform orders are scrutinised is not fixed. When ministers lay a draft legislative reform order, they propose what level of scrutiny it should face. Under the super-affirmative procedure, both Houses have 60 days to consider a proposal for an order. They can recommend changes to the proposed order. The minister has to have regard to these representations and can then decide whether to proceed with the order in the same or an amended form, and lay it as a draft order. This draft order then has to be approved before it can be signed into law by the minister.
