| Data type | External identifier |

- Motivation
The legislation.gov.uk website is a comprehensive public database of all non-repealed legislation currently in force in the UK, with copies of the text. Wikidata has entries for many of these statutes and being able to link to an authoritative, maintained, source for their content would be immensely useful. At the moment our items for legislation are fairly bare. Andrew Gray (talk) 20:39, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
