This page groups a regulation by where it sits within the wider body of rules that contains it. Wikipedia notes that regulation covers "the delegated legislation which is adopted to enforce primary legislation," so a single regulation usually sits beneath one specific parent statute. Browsing this way moves between a regulation and the primary legislation it enforces.
