Conclusion
This chapter begins with a discussion of the expansion of social legislation in Britain, focusing on the works of Albert Venn Dicey, which have framed the debate about reforming statutes in the sense that even his critics have related their ideas to his thoughts. It then discusses the work of O. MacDonagh, who saw five stages in the production of legislative change. The chapter considers expertise in the making of statutes and explaining the reforming legislation.
