Latest revision as of 00:14, 13 June 2016
- For UK Central Government, England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, see FOIA Section 6
Wholly owned companies - Scotland
- Companies that are wholly owned by the Scottish Ministers (ie the Scottish Government) or other Scottish public authorities are subject to the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 by virtue of Section 6[1]:
- 6 Publicly-owned companies
- (1) A company is a “publicly-owned company” for the purposes of section 3(1)(b) if it is wholly owned—
- (a) by the Scottish Ministers; or
- (b) by any other Scottish public authority listed in schedule 1, other than an authority so listed only in relation to information of a specified description.
- (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), a company is wholly owned—
- (a) by the Scottish Ministers if it has no members except—
- (i) the Scottish Ministers or companies wholly owned by the Scottish Ministers; or
- (ii) persons acting on behalf of the Scottish Ministers or of such companies; and
- (b) by any other Scottish public authority if it has no members except—
- (i) the authority or companies wholly owned by the authority; or
- (ii) persons acting on behalf of the authority or of such companies.
- (a) by the Scottish Ministers if it has no members except—
- (3) In subsections (1) and (2), “company” includes any body corporate
- Links are provided to the authorities on WhatDoTheyKnow.com where available
Jointly-owned companies
There seems to be some uncertainty over whether companies jointly owned by several public authorities qualify under this section. A literal reading of the Act suggests not, but it's possible that the provisions of section 6 of the Interpretation Act 1978 are relevant here. The Scottish Information Commissioner says[2]:
- The Scottish public authorities which are subject to the regimes are those which are listed in Schedule 1 of FOISA or designated in an order under section 5(1) of FOISA ... Wholly publicly-owned companies (including those wholly owned by more than one authority) are also covered by the regimes[3]
At least two jointly-owned companies (Lothian Buses plc and Scottish Intellectual Asset Management Limited) consider themselved to be subject to FOISA.
