Book excerpt: The Freedom of Information Act 2000 came into force in January 2005, providing a general right of access to information held by public authorities in the UK. The current charging scheme for handling FOI requests is £600 for central government and £450 for other public authorities, based on a set rate of £25 per hour for officials' time. Where the estimated cost is below the limit, the information is provided free of charge, but when the limit is exceeded, the public authority can either provide the information for a charge or refuse to provide the information on grounds of lack of cost-effectiveness. This document sets out the Government's reply to the Committee's report (HCP 415, session 2006-07; ISBN 9780215034724) on the Governments proposals to change this system, which seek to include reading time, consideration and consultation time in the calculation of time spent towards the appropriate limit to aggregate non-similar requests made by any person or persons apparently acting together.
