Statutory (passed by Parliament) and Delegated (passed by statutory instrument). The first is the way almost all major governmental proposals are made. An enabling Act must be created to allow ministers and government departments to make delegated laws. Several other ways exist, including Orders in Council. The latter two mentioned are not democratically made, indeed at present at least the House of Lords remains unelected and so the only elected part is the House of Commons, where MPs can introduce Bills, these are Government Bills, in which a minister introduces it on behalf of HM Government, there are Private Member's Bills issued by individual backbench MPs, usually these do not have enough parliamentary time to be passed. An example of a sucess in this type is the Abortion Act. There are other ways of making law, including judicial precedent, making the codified law stronger.
