This week marks 10 years since we launched Legislation.gov.uk - the official home of revised and enacted UK legislation.
Legislation.gov.uk is delivered by The National Archives and is an accessible service that is vital for anyone who is interested in current or historical UK
legislations for their research.
The service has transformed access to the statute book for millions of users and we are proud to have achieved what we set out to do - to provide clearer, faster and easier access to legislations.
Legislations from as early as 1267 for the UK and 1953 for those from the EU can be discovered at Legislation.gov.uk, while our research guides can help you understand how to make use of the service for your research.
To mark its 10th anniversary, the Head of Legislation Services, Matthew Bell, will discuss the challenges, achievements, and impact of this ground-breaking service on 13 August, 14:00. You can register for the event here (https://prod.flowapp.com/s/BvBKxYn0X2).
TNA's original newsletter can be read at https://trim.ee/Z1IPm.
For Scotland, the relevant section of the website is https://www.legislation.gov.uk/browse/scotland.
Note that for the pre-1707 period, the Records of the Parliament of Scotland site at www.rps.ac.uk is also well worth a look.
For Northern Ireland visit https://www.legislation.gov.uk/browse/ni - this also includes some acts from the Old Irish Parliament from 1495-1800.
