Further FOI stories

FT.com 7th February - Demand information audit copy if FOI request is not being met
Letter from Sebastian Nokes, Partner, Aldersgate Partners - advises what steps should be taken by the public if freedom of information requests are not being met.
"We recommend that anyone who is not getting a proper reply to their FOI request should submit a further request to the authority asking for a copy of its information audit. If the authority does not have one, or if it is incomplete, the inquirer will be able to show that it has not prepared properly for the act. If it does have one, the inquirer will be able to see where the information sought is likely to be held."
