Obvious first thought: how to coordinate this

Contacting BAILII is on my list of things to do. Will do it soon.
Putting together what Andy and David are suggesting:
http://www.bailii.org/indices/uk-legis-index.html looks pretty interesting from
a data point of view. At first sight modern legislation at a fine granularity is
drowning everything else out: but here is
http://www.bailii.org/uk/legis/num_act/1689/bill_of_rights.html
So that provides an identifier (suffix) for the Bill of Rights.
The existence of these legislation identifiers does mean that Wikidata could be
used to generate lists in an automated fashion, as Andy was saying. Plugging
into that infrastructure would probably pay dividends, for a project on the
scale you were indicating.
