Legislation Finder

I have an obvious need to keep up to date with any insolvency-related legislation. Luckily, my trade body, R3, provides me with regular updates that have already had the legislation summarised for me. However, sometimes I need to access the actual text of the legislation and before now, finding an electronic copy to search has been a real pain.

Now, however, a new website has been launched by by the National Archives which lists all UK legislation from 1988 (and some but not all prior to this) and is a great resource if you need this sort of thing! Go to:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/

The original Statutory Instrument [piece of legislation] (as enacted) and revised versions of legislation on Legislation.gov.uk are published by and under the authority of the Controller of HMSO (in her capacity as The Queen's Printer of Acts of Parliament, and Government Printer of Northern Ireland) and the Queen's Printer for Scotland.

Each Statutory Instrument is subject to Crown copyright, but reproduction of any piece in an unaltered form is free of charge, providing you also state "(C) Crown Copyright" somewhere in the document.
