The difficulty is that the fees have not always been charged. The true cost of FOI is not recognised. The Bill, therefore, contains a provision that will permit the Minister for Finance to prescribe fees for requests for access to records and for applications for reviews of decisions, which must be paid before anything else happens. Contrary to some reports in the media, the level of such fees has not been decided. I will be giving careful consideration to the setting of these fees and, in doing so, will be careful to strike a balance between the burden and cost of administering the legislation – which is unquestionably significant – and the need to allow people to continue to have access to information. I should stress that the Government does not favour the charging of an up-front fee for personal information and the Bill explicitly precludes this possibility.
