Lord Laird – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Laird on 2016-02-22.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to make any changes to freedom of information legislation, in particular on the use of false names when seeking disclosure; and if so, what changes they propose, and when will they be brought forward.
Lord Bridges of Headley
The Government established the Freedom of Information Commission to review the Freedom of Information Act and we will give careful consideration to its recommendations. Section 8(1)(b) of the FOI Act already requires applicants to provide their real name.
