Parliament releases an annual report detailing various stats about volume and number of legislative acts (as well as gender, ethnic, background makeup of parliament etc). As far as I know it's only available in pdf - I will try to find the link and email it when I have a moment.
The key thing in the latest report, as you say Adam, is volume - the number of acts in the last 13 years is actually lower, but the number of pages in the acts and use of statutory instruments has gone up massively.
