Talk:Organisations and officials with public responsibilities that are not subject to the Freedom of Information Act

Do we want to include:

Elected Representatives

• Members of Parliament
• Councillors paid for full time roles eg. Some Executive Councillors / Council Leaders in London
• The Mayor of London

Members of the Scottish Parliament Members of the Welsh Assembly Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly

My view is that those who are not in paid full time roles ought not be subject to the act. Obviously correspondence with constituents is exempt in any case.

• I don't think we should - all the information MPs hold that might be released should be held by the Commons anyway John Cross 12:48, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Others

ACPOS?

SDEA?

Pension protection fund?

More for Consideration

The Association of Police Authorities

The Association of Police Authorities was set up on 1st April 1997 to represent police authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, both on the national stage and locally. It influences policy on policing and it supports local police authorities in their important role.

Personally I am aware that they provide guidance on things like how to run a Police Authority during an election

The Local Government Association

http://www.lga.gov.uk

These would both be covered if organisations owned by a group of authorities all already subject to the act were automatically covered
