Law

The Scotsman tells us that:

One law every three hours has been created during Tony Blair's decade in power: over the past ten years, close to 30,000 new laws have been created - an average of 2,685 a year or more than seven a day.

The Guardian remarks that:
the statutes themselves have become longer, with five acts passed in 2006 totalling more than 100 pages, three more than 200, one more than 300, one more than 500 and one more than 700.
