Abstract
Pulsar observations form one of the Key Science Projects for the Square Kilometre Array. These will allow unique tests of general relativity based on finding and timing pulsars in relativistic binaries and on timing millisecond pulsars distributed across the sky in an effort to detect a background of gravitational radiation.
