Freedom of Information Act 2000

Added 30 November 2004

Did you know that the Freedom of Information Act will come into force in January 2005?  Do you know what rights this Act gives individuals, or how it will affect the Government and Members of Parliament?

Oonagh Gay, of the House of Commons Library, has prepared an excellent research paper, which gives an outline of the legislation and how it affects the work of the MPs' offices.

Read the research paper here, or find it on the Library Intranet pages.
