Legislation.gov.uk
Most pre-1988 primary legislation is available on this site. In some cases they only have the original published (as enacted) version and no revised version. This occurs if the legislation was wholly repealed before 1991 and therefore was not included in the revised data set when it was extracted from Statutes in Force. In other cases they may only have a revised version if the original (as enacted) version is not available in a web-publishable format.
