The UK Statute Law Database Open To Public 
Posted on Friday, February 16, 2007 - 10:00 AM

The UK Statute Law Database (SLD) is the official revised edition of the primary legislation of the United Kingdom made available online. The SLD was released to the public on 20 December 2006.

The link is at www.statutelaw.gov.uk. The content of SLD is available for viewing and private use free of charge, but please is still subject to the Crown Copyright.

The SLD carries most (but not all) types of legislation, both primary and secondary. Most types of primary legislation are held in ‘revised’ form. This means that amendments made to them by subsequent legislation are incorporated into the text. Most types of secondary legislation on SLD are not revised and are held only in the form in which they were originally made.
