Notes and notices

The handlist entitled "Architect as a working title for one of the sectoral professions of the European Union" (html version) (pdf version) outlines some salient points about the chronology of the legislation and the European Union dimension.  It is to aid inquirers and policy-makers in connection with some of the less frequently asked questions.

On official statements inconsistent with the legislation enacted by the UK Parliament, see explanatory notes ( pdf version ).
