Primary legislatures are which bodies?

Primary legislation is Acts of Parliament. The government’s ministers (ministers of the Crown) draft and present Bills to Parliament, which then debates and enacts them into law. The Privy Council no longer serves as a primary legislator in modern practice; its Orders in Council are a form of subordinate legislation, not primary law. Government departments implement laws but do not themselves make primary legislation. So the combination of Parliament and ministers of the Crown best represents the bodies responsible for primary legislation.
