Crown Copyright

The material on this site is protected by Crown copyright, unless it says otherwise. The copyright in some of the material which may be found on the site has been waived, meaning you can reproduce this material freely. Categories of material for which copyright has been waived include: government press notices, legislation and explanatory notes on the legislation, ministerial speeches, consultation documents, documents featured on official websites (except where expressly indicated otherwise), headline statistics and unpublished public records. More details of these and other categories can be found at HMSO's website

For other types of material however, the supply of documents does not give the person or organisation who receives them an automatic right to re-use the documents in a way that would infringe copyright, for example, by making multiple copies, publishing and issuing copies to the public.

Brief extracts of any of the material included on this site may be reproduced under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (sections 29 and 30) for the purposes of research for non-commercial purposes, private study, criticism, review and news reporting.

The permission to reproduce Crown-protected material does not cover any material on this site that is identified as being the copyright of another person or organisation. You must get permission to produce that material from the copyright holders. If in any doubt users should contact Her Majesty's Stationery Office in the first instance.
