The sentence: Hybrid instruments - statutory instruments which need to be approved by both Houses and affect some members of a group (whether individuals or bodies) more than others in the same group may be incorrect.

Describing Acts of the devolved parliaments as secondary legislation is both misleading and contrary to every reference I have ever seen outside of the Human Rights Act (where they are so defined as used *in that act*, where there are specific reasons that you'd want to define them as such). What sort of sources do you need to show that this absolutely needs to change? 2A00:23C0:C217:9C00:B0E2:93D2:F07D:A518 (talk) 05:10, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Reliable sources. It would be helpful for you to elaborate on the "specific reasons", also with a citation.  — Scott • talk 13:13, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
