Freedom+of+Infomation+act

The Freedom Of Infomation Act 2000.

The Freedom of Information Act gives you the right to ask any public sector organisation for all the recorded information they have on any subject. Anyone can make a request for information – there are no restrictions on your age, nationality or where you live. If you ask for information about yourself, then your request will be handled under the Data Protection Act. Companys generally have 20 working days to send you the infomation to you. Requests can be refused if they cost more than £600, including time spent searching for files.
