FoI Delays The Freedom of Information Act is worse than useless if requests for information can be stymied for years. I have been battling to get an answer to a simple question for 20 months. But some other straightforward requests go back to 2005. In fact I know of hundreds of requests that are still in the system, going nowhere fast. The person responsible for policing the FoI Act is the Information Commissioner. I told the Speaker recently I want him brought to the Bar of the House to explain these "grotesque delays". |
