as   well   as   deemed   regulations,   codes   of   practice,   notices   and   ministerial directions. 109   Before Government Bills are introduced, more effort needs to go into the initial design  of  legislation,  particularly  its  architecture  and  the  relationship  of  the proposed  law  to  the  established  body  of  laws  as  a  whole.    Similarly,  post- legislative scrutiny of Government Bills that are passed needs to be undertaken to ensure that the stated objectives were met, and that unexpected consequences did not ensue.  There needs to be a retreat from the pattern of wholesale amendments that over the years so distort and destroy the logic and pattern of a statute that it becomes unrecognisable.  The best example of this currently on the statute book is the  Social  Security  Act  1964.    In  other  words,  we  need  better  pre-legislative scrutiny and better post-legislative scrutiny of legislation.   110   If we do not address these difficulties, it is my view that more and more law will find  its  way  into  delegated  legislation  through  measures  of  the  character  of  the Legislative  and  Regulatory  Reform  Bill  in  the  United  Kingdom  that  I  have outlined.  For a constitution like New Zealand’s, that is unacceptable.  Parliament must remain in control.⁴³                                                     43   For the sake of completeness, I should record the current orthodox law reform projects that the  Law  Commission  has  in  front  of  it.  At  present,  the  Commission  has  on  its  work programme a review on Access to Court Records which is really unfinished business left over from the Official Information Act.  It has a project on Custom and Human Rights in the  Pacific.    It  has  a  long  running  project  on  reforming  the  law  on  Entry,  Search  and Seizure.  It has another reference relating to Criminal Defences.  It has recently completed a review of the Customs Act.  And it has a project concerning a Maori Entities Bill to give Maori  organisations  the  choice  of  a  new  legal  framework  for  the  purpose  of  managing communally  owned  assets,  or  giving  effect  to  communal  rights  and  responsibilities  on behalf of the members of the group.   32
