Hutton Enquiry and FOI

The Hutton enquiry into the death of Dr David Kelly has already seen the release of many documents that would not have seen the light of day under the FOIA if it was in force. The enquiry website states that the release of the documentary evidence at the end of the enquiry will be subject to the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information - "Where documents cannot be made publicly available, or have to be edited, explanations will be given, in line with the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information"

Many of the emails referred to are already available : e.g. Godric Smith
