The Bodleian Library as a legal deposit library has an excellent collection of printed departmental publications, including those of the devolved assemblies and Scottish Parliament. To search our collections use SOLO.

From the mid 1990s government publications were increasingly published online only. You may need to search government portals or web archives to find digital documents.
