I know that most EU directives are implemented via Statutory Instruments passed via the negative resolution procedure, but is this procedure commonly used for law with a UK origin?

What proportion of UK statutory instruments are passed using the negative resolution procedure?
On average, about 90% (source, source)
For session-by-session numbers, the Sessional Returns page of the Parliament website lists statistics for previous sessions, including a breakdown of statutory instruments.
For example, in the 2016-17 session, we can see that 166 affirmative instruments were presented to the House, alongside 537 negative instruments.
is this procedure commonly used for law with a UK origin
Overwhelmingly, yes.
