[External X-refs

The Tag X-ref function will now tag some external references as well as internal references.

By “external reference” we mean a reference to an Act, secondary legislation or EU legislation.

The references that are currently handled are those references where the Act or SI title is included as part of the reference, e.g. “section 5 of the Criminal Justice Act 2000” or “paragraph (1) and (2) of regulation 45 of the Procurement Regulations 2023”.

The feature uses the data behind legislation.gov.uk to lookup and identify the appropriate legislative documents.

External references that are not currently handled (but will be tackled in later releases) include:

  • References that refer back to a previously mentioned Act or SI etc., e.g. “section 7 of that Act”

  • References that implicitly external due to their context but don’t directly include the title of the Act or SI etc., e.g. references in provisions following a statement like “Section 32 of the Criminal Justice Act 2000 is amended as follows.”

  • References that rely on defined names for an Act or SI rather than its proper name, e.g. “Regulation 17 of the 2009 Regulations”]

This is particularly to help in the situation reported by users in some organisations that the save operation gets stuck at 0% or later but it may also be useful where you have triggered a save on a large document by accident and don’t want to wait until it is complete.

As part of these changes, we’ve also improved the robustness of the save operation generally so that the progress bar will be skipped if it is likely to cause problems (due its reliance on Websocket technology which can be blocked in some networks).
