UK Statute Law Database

The idea for creating a UK-wide legislation database dates back to 1991 when the government awarded a contract to Syntegra, a BT company previously known as "Secure Information Systems Limited", to create a database containing all the public Acts comprised in the publication "Statutes in Force" together with all amendments made since a "base date" of 1 February 1991.

Acts are targeted for updating according to a system of priorities based on demand ascertained mainly from Webtrends reports showing which Acts are viewed most frequently.
