Government RSS Feeds

There’s been some criticism recently on government feeds, and their non-existence or the difficulty of finding those that do exist.

I was subscribed to a few feeds – those which were easy to find – such as the OPSI legislation ones, and the DCA. But after reading the discussions, and noticing a few new feeds (and many thanks to lo fi librarian for pointing out the parliament feeds, though I still can’t get them to work properly), I thought it would be useful to have a list of all the feeds available from the government/parliament. I couldn’t find one. I wound up searching google- which as you can imagine brought back a whole heap of feeds I didn’t need (like lots of local councils – though it’s good to see how many of them have feeds!). But I weeded through it a bit, and created a list of feeds to add to my feedreader.

If anyone knows of any that I have missed, please let me know! (There is a list of ones that I have checked but could not find at the bottom of this post).

Here is the list:
