Can anyone think of any criminal laws that are created outside parliment?

I can only think of speed limits.

Speed limits as such are not the law. The law alows the speed to become an offence.

In any case In don't think bylaws don't need to be approved by central government.

It's a strange one really. AIUI speeding laws would have been created in Parliament like all the others, but all they really say is don't exceed whatever the limit is. The limits are largely set outside of Parliament, but the legal requirement to obey them came from legislation created in the normal way. The only thing I can think of like it is trespass. Parliament creates the legislation that defines trespass, but it doesn't specifically mention my back garden as somewhere that you'd be trespassing if you didn't have my leave to be there. Not a perfect comparison by a long way, but I think you see what I'm getting at.
