Revised Freedom of Information Code of Practice

In response to the Independent Commission on Freedom of Information’s report, the government agreed to update the Code of Practice issued under Section 45 of the Freedom of Information Act, to ensure the range of issues on which guidance can be offered to public authorities under the Code of Practice is sufficient and up to date.

The government now seeks views about this revised Code, particularly the areas highlighted in the consultation document.

The revised Code of Practice has now been published and can be found here.
