Freedom of Information Act scope to be extended - a bit
July 20, 2009
(Press Gazette) The Ministry of Justice has named four public bodies that should be covered by Freedom of Information laws - but campaigners have said the list does not go far enough.
Academy schools, the Association of Chief Police Officers, university admissions body UCAS and the Financial Ombudsman Service would be included within the scope of FoI Act under the new plans.
