Non-Disclosure Provisions Under the Freedom of Information Act: Discussion with Information Commissioner
12:25 pm
Ms Emily O'Reilly:
No, it is in this report. The Act was severely amended in 2003 and I do not think there was an appetite for restricting it any further. Rightly or wrongly it appeared to me that the method of restricting it was to take bodies out of FOI when they were subsumed into new entities. In some cases the new bodies were not included in FOI by the introduction of the non-disclosure provisions.
