I've thought of a way around this issue. Parliament can pass what 
are called "enabling Acts" - such as the Health and Safety At Work 
Act, 1974. These Acts allow for more "laws" to be passed as long as 
they fall within the parameters of the original Act, without further 
recourse to Parliament. Thus, there might be an ancient law that 
would allow all further wizarding legislation to be brought into 
force without further recourse to Parliament - or the Queen. Then, 
the MoM could use their own rules and procedures to make law. These 
laws would still be British Law.

It is hard to see how the original enabling act would allow for 
wizards to legalise Muggle-hunting; perhaps that is why that 
proposed piece of legislation never made it to the statute books.
