www.legislation.gov.uk

This website brings together what was previously OPSI and the revised legislation from the Statute Law Database to provide a single legislation service. The OPSI and SLD websites have been decommissioned. This site is the official place of publication for newly enacted legislation. The aim is to publish legislation on legislation.gov.uk simultaneously or at least within 24 hours, of its publication in printed form. Any document which is especially complex in terms of its size or its typography may take longer to prepare and so a PDF version will be published first. Legislation detailed on the New Legislation page is listed by date published to this website.
