external website date of publication

there's this website which im citing in my dissertation.

Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament - Anglo-French nuclear deal reduces salience of nuclear weapons, says CND

but i need the date the date was published. is there a way to look into the source or something to get the date, or do i just omit it from my bibliography? im thinking omit, but if anyone knows how to find the date that would be really helpful

thanks in advance and obvious rep etc given to helpers
thanks exceemers

In the bibliography for websites you can put "Date Accessed" rather than "Date Published". Some websites change regularly, for example an about page for a company, so "Date Accessed" is better to use.

yeh, i know generally thats something to fall back on, but with Press Releases, and the fact that its about a specific event, it effects what is being said if its speculation on possible legislation OR a reply to passed / ratified treaties....

meh. i'll use the fall back

Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament - Press Releases

Though I wrote stuff using Harvard referencing, and while it was 11 years ago, I wrote references to websites as the date it was accessed, not the date it was published, though you could also treat that as a press release and not a website, then it would need the published date. Something to ask your tutor about as they should be able to advise you on whats needed, but dont even think about not referencing it

to add, it may be worth taking a screenshot and printing it out and storing the print out in a safe place, to protect yourself in case the site goes down or the content gets removed.
