Interception of Communications Commissioner and the Freedom of Information Act

Another example of a public body that will needs to be considered for addition under the Act.

Taken from the Spy UK Blog:
"We have had a reply from The Assistant Private Secretary to the Interception of Communications Commissioner regarding our Freedom of Information Act request regarding the "Wilson Doctrine" administrative exemption of Members of Parliament to telephone interception. The letter claims that "your request cannot be acted on" since the Interception of Communications Commissioner is not a "public authority" under the Freedom of Information Act."
