Typical isn't it?
Over the Christmas period the UK Government issued some new legislation that extends the requirement for companies and LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships) to include certain information in their electronic documents and on websites.
While companies have been used to including their name, place of registration, company number and registered office address on letterheads and invoices this information is now required on emails and websites.
The legislation came into effect on the 1st January 2007 and there are fines for companies that do not show this information.
This is an example of legislation brought in by the Secretary of State, and very likely not debated in Parliament, that is not commonly known about and not publicised widely, I came across it while looking for information about training for accountants for a lecture on businesses and CPD at the college.
How they expect businesses to update websites and email footers during the period between 21st December 2006 and 1st January 2007 is anybody's guess.
