This site brings together in one location the original (as enacted) and revised versions of UK legislation, including that of the devolved administrations, which were previously available on the decommissioned OPSI and Statute Law Database sites. Over 95% of the Acts on legislation.gov.uk are fully up to date. The “changes to legislation” message indicates if there are any outstanding effects. Revised versions of some secondary legislation is also held on legislation.gov.uk
The original text as enacted may be accessed under “What Version” on the left of the screen. A complete breakdown of all types of legislation with coverage dates of each is to be found under the “Browse Legislation” tab. There is also a “New Legislation” section to which newly enacted legislation is added within 24 hours of its publication in printed form, a set of FAQs providing detailed information on site content and features, and both basic and advanced search facilities.
