The UK Department of Constitutional Affairs is planning an open-access database of UK legislation. Quoting Tony Hopkins, head of the Statutory Publications Office at the DCA: "Giving the public access to consolidated legislation is also a prime business objective, and it is planned to make an Internet-based service available during spring of next year....I see it as a research tool for anyone who needs access to primary and secondary legislation."

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
