Introduction

Help is designed to be of use to all users of the UK Statute Law Database (SLD), regardless of degree of familiarity with legislation or SLD. The information in Help is intended to be comprehensive and it should be possible to find answers to most questions you may have about SLD here. SLD is, however, a complex database and the volume of information here may seem daunting, especially for beginners. We are planning to develop an online tutorial facility in the near future. In the meantime, you can follow the link below to access a PDF guide to SLD which you may find of help in getting started:

 

An Introduction to the UK Statute Law Database

 

SLD is maintained by the staff of the Statutory Publications Offices in London and Belfast. The London office is part of the Ministry of Justice. The Belfast office is the responsibility of the Office of the Legislative Counsel in Northern Ireland within the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister. The editorial work of the two offices is carried out under qualified legal supervision.
