Is it in Force? is the authoritative guide to the commencement of UK statutes from Halsbury's Statutes , published daily as an online service ^[1] and twice annually as a paperback volume by LexisNexis Butterworths.^{[ citation needed ]} It deals with every Public Act of Parliament, Measure of the Welsh Assembly, Act of the Scottish Parliament and General Synod Measure passed since 1960. ^[2] However, annual Finance Acts are not dealt with in Is it in Force? because the commencement of provisions therein are generally stated clearly in the text of the provision concerned.
