No, Parliament cannot delegate its essential legislative functions. While Parliament can delegate some law-making power to other bodies (like the executive or administrative agencies), it cannot delegate the core, fundamental aspects of lawmaking, which are considered "essential legislative functions". This principle is rooted in the concept of separation of powers and ensures that the legislature retains ultimate control over the policy and principles of the law.
