Since it's for a job (you said) tell the truth; you aren't aware of it yet.
Anything else you say is going to be discovered quickly and will likely get
you fired before your probation period ends.
Even if someone were inclined to do your homework for you here, it can't
be done because you're posted absolutely no information about the context of
the question.

If this is an upcoming job interview, how do you know what questions are
going to be asked? What will you do when you get to the psyche part?
When I was in R&D mgmt, I used to ask applicants what their proudest
achievement to date was, followed by what was their latest failure? Since
design is based on failure, anyone that said they never failed or it was x
years ago, you know was lying and indicated more questions needed to be
asked of this person. Unless he was too obviously a truck driver; then you
just say thanks and end it all.

HTH,

What a silly question. Maybe you should read my post again. I said I was
applying for a job. An online application form. Not going for an interview.

Never seen a IT job pose such a query about "awareness of legislation" in all my years.
Prospective employers ask technical questions directly correlating to the postion they are
trying to fill. If they did they would be very specific such as mentioning the
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) act.

I again propose that you are not being forthright and this is a school homework
assignment.

This is an internatuional news groups whose only requirement is you keep On Topic and
converse in the English language.

An IT question pertaining UK Legislation should be posed in a UK News Group that discusses
Information Technology.
