There have been a range of views expressed on the degree to which policy advice to government is released as part of the process of post-legislative scrutiny of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.
The Government awaits with interest any comment the Justice Select Committee might make on this issue. In the meantime, however, we are proactively releasing much of the underlying, objective data used by the public sector to arrive at policy recommendations and in supporting policy decisions. In doing so, we become increasingly accountable for those decisions that we take.
