Information request

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities. It gives the public the right to be told whether the information exists and the right to receive the information.

FOIA also sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities and will be enforced by the Information Commissioner.
