Chris Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 People will have the right to access information held by 100,000 public bodies when the Freedom of Information Act comes into force on Saturday. Police forces, hospitals, schools, local councils and the government must now reply to requests for information. The act was passed by parliament four years ago but has only just become law. Government officials have denied claims by the Tories that systematic shredding of documents was taking place in the build-up to the act's implementation.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Radfordin Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 I fail to see what difference this act is going to make to most of us. There is the fallback of "it'll cost to much to find the information" that such bodies can use.I for one won't be about to put pen to paper to ask for anything I don't already know...
