Can I find the 'Human Rights Act 1998' and read its sections?

Yes! Use the `search_legislation` tool with the title 'Human Rights' and year '1998'. Once you have the type (ukpga) and number (42), you can use `get_section` to read specific parts of the act.

How do I see all legislation enacted in 2023?

Use the `get_legislation_by_year` tool and specify the `year` as '2023' and the `type` (e.g., 'ukpga' for Public General Acts). It will list all documents registered for that year.

Does this server provide recently published laws?
