The secondary legislation that covers much of benefit rules/regulations would be developed and impact assessed by DWP policy officials after being given a steer by Ministers/special advisers/budget etc. While Parliament has to approve (affirmative procedure) or at least not object (negative procedure), the Department and it’s lawyers are very much responsible for their creation.
