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.
