Description
DVSA requires an estimated 31 licences to access online legislation information. DVSA reserves the right to increase/decrease this figure as required.
The key requirements for the online provision are for:

-web-based access to a repository of all legislation, both primary and secondary, as made by the Scottish Parliament and the National Assembly for Wales, both historical and as currently in force
-both the legislation (act/statutory instrument (SI)) as made and the consolidated version so that we can check the extant legislative provision
