  • A Means sharing responsibility between central and local government on a fifty fifty basis
  • B Decentralizes responsibility for law making subject to agreed controls from the centre
  • C Has advantages and disadvantages
  • D Once permitted is almost impossible to control
  • E Decentralizes problems without providing suitable solutions
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Delegated legislation decentralizes responsibility for lawmaking by allowing bodies other than the legislature to make rules and regulations, subject to controls from the centre. It is not a fifty-fifty sharing arrangement, and while it has advantages and disadvantages, the best description is that it decentralizes lawmaking under central control.
