Work is well advanced in my Department on provision for the extension of Freedom of Information requirements to a range of public service organisations including Vocational Education Committees. The remaining practical issues are currently being pursued and once these are finalised I expect that I will be able to put final proposals to Government regarding the extension of the Act in 2010.
