Template:UKStatute

When to use the template

This template should be used to link to the official text of part of a UK statute. Where the link is to the whole of a UK statute, the template Template:UK-LEG may be more appropriate.

How to use the template

There are three arguments:

• ActiveTextDocID Number from the URL when viewing the statute, part or provision
• Text of the hyperlink
• Optional Version number. Use this only when showing how a statute stood at a particular time and not when you want a link to the statute for the time being.

Examples

Use: [[Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984]], {{UKStatute|1871554|s. 8}}

To return:

Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, s. 8

Use: [[Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984]], {{UKStatute|1871554|s. 8, as in force in 1991|1}} To return:

Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, s. 8, as in force in 1991
