UKOP is the authoritative official online catalogue of the output of government, spanning 20 years of government information. The database is updated daily and, in order to ensure its completeness, all Departments are required to provide copies of each title or document issued, whether published or distributed by themselves or by a commercial publisher.

Departments send copies to:
TSO Bibliographic Department,
51 Nine Elms Lane,
London SW8 5DR

Executive Agencies of the Scottish Executive have their own UKOP deposit arrangements.

7. Legal Deposit: There is a legal obligation on all publishing bodies to deposit copies of all their print publications with the Copyright Libraries.
