The Freedom of Information Act (FoI) creates a wide-ranging right to see information held by public authorities, improving transparency and accountability in British government. Campaigners and journalists use FoI to hold officials to account. Disclosures range from the ‘hidden’ casualty rates of British service personnel in Iraq to the £3.3bn cost of our exit from the Exchange Rate Mechanism.
