List of UK Legislation and references       Back to Legislation (UK)

Note - it would not be practical to put every bit of legislation on this links page owing to the shear amount of it! As such, the main acts are included along with information which, although not exactly law, relates directly to industry responsibilities and is helpful. Note also that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland often have their own, equivalent, laws.

If you feel that a particular link should be here, please let us know and we will add it.
