The Legislation Support Unit [LSU]
works in close consultation with Ministers and Government
departmental officials and is responsible for the drafting of most
domestic, international and EU legislation which is subsequently
passed by the House of Assembly.
The Unit also
functions as a dissemination centre for all EU directives,
consultation documents, etc. and helps Government departments and
the general public with advice and information on all Gibraltar’s
legislation.
The weekly
publication of the Gibraltar Gazette and all its supplements is also
a major responsibility of the Department. This official mouthpiece
of the Government contains all Government Notices, Government
appointments, Bills, Ordinances, Legal Notices, etc.
The latest
responsibility of the Department, working in co-operation with the
“Information Technology and Logistics Department”, is the production
and maintenance of the Laws of Gibraltar Website. the LSU publishes
electronically all the legislation currently in force in Gibraltar
and up-dates this legislation on a weekly basis. This database
provides legal practitioners and the general public with an
invaluable legal resource. |
