Freedom of information remains as distant a prospect as ever
' analysis
The Freedom of Information Act was the first ever piece of legislation in the UK to give citizens a legal right to access government information.
Arriving on the statute books in 2000, although not coming into effect until 2005, it formalises the rights of ordinary citizens and groups alike to see any and all information from public authorities, within certain bounds of security, and that includes government departments.
However, the Freedom of Information Act (FoI) has not made all government agencies and departments free and easy when it comes to releasing information on request. A prime example is the Department for Transport (DfT).
Rebecca Lush, the roads and climate change campaigner for sustainable transport lobby group Transport 2000 regularly deals with the DfT and uses the FoI Act as one of the main weapons in her campaigning armoury. However, her experiences of the effectiveness of the Act and the DfT's reactions to requests made under it show a worrying lack of respect
