Freedom of Information Act

The Freedom of Information Act (Scotland) 2002 enables any person to obtain information from Scottish public authorities. This is a legal right and will ensure that all people get information to which they are entitled.

This legal right of access includes all types of ‘recorded’ information of any date held by Scottish public authorities. From 2005 any person who makes a request for information must be provided with it, subject to certain conditions.

At the request of some clients we have started to prepare specific briefings on this subject. If you would like to be included in that work please contact Bernie Vincent by clicking the link on the right of the screen.
