Government responds to Justice Select Committee

FOI Man reports on the Government’s response to the Justice Select Committee’s post-legislative scrutiny report.

The Ministry of Justice has published the Government’s response to the Justice Select Committee’s post-legislative scrutiny report on the Freedom of Information Act. You can read the Justice Committee’s report here, and the Government’s response here.

I have commented on the Government’s response on behalf of the Save FOI Campaign. My post on that site summarises the key points of the Government’s response and provides my analysis of what it means for the future of FOI.
