In 1982, Glanville Williams said that the Annotated Legislation Service was "useful" at the first appearance of an Act. It was not, however, regularly kept up to date by reissues or supplements. Williams said this was a "defect".Williams, G L. Learning the Law. Eleventh Edition. Stevens. London. 1982. , p. 178
