  • Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FIA 2000)
  • Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR 2004), SI 2004/3391
  • INSPIRE Regulations 2009, SI 2009/3157
  • UK eIDAS Regulation, Retained Regulation (EU) 910/2014

  • Network and Information Systems Regulations 2018 (NIS Regulations), SI 2018/506
  • Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (IPA 2016)
