This book is part of the "Butterworths New Law Guides". The introduction of a statutory right of access to information held by public bodies is a significant development in the UK and requests for information held by public bodies is likely to increase. This guide provides a concise explanation of the Act with reference to Parliamentary debates and offers a comparative review of the legislation and case law in Canada, Australia and the USA where similar legislation has been in force for some time. The guide includes the full text of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and narrative guidance. Free access is also provided to an associated website containing secondary legislation.
