I thought when I was reading the AONTAS report and I do not know whether I am misrepresenting the report, that it thought it would be on the individual person to say if somebody was not upholding or acting as gatekeepers to information. I was curious as to what oversight can or does exist to ensure legislation is adhered to, without it being the responsibility of the person trying to request information to shed a light on whether he or she is not getting the adequate information under the law, or whether there would be general oversight on whether people were adhering to the legislation.
