- Double-weighted statement
- The book is the result of sustained research effort in the large-scale collection and analysis of statutory and parliamentary material, little of which accessible electronically. It required physical library access and almost-forgotten referencing techniques. Parliamentary debates and command papers required some years to identify, access and gather. Few had been subjected to any critical evaluation before, and there has never been an attempt to draw together all the materials from the beginnings of legal regulation to the present day. This required understanding and synthesising long-forgotten materials, and an understanding of historical context and changing political attitudes over 150 years.
