UTC is the accepted international standard, but GMT appears to be steadfastly held onto by the UK (especially Government departments). I believe that GMT is actually by definition UTC_NPL, i.e. NPL contributes to UTC, but will have a small local offset as will all contributors.

Stockholm, Sweden is UTC+1h as normal time and UTC+2h as summer time, not GMT+1h and GMT+2h as indicated in the above site. Let me rephrase it properly so that it is understood: Does anyone has a collected list of the legally accepted time scale and offset, such that distinctions such as that between UTC and GMT is maintained?
