Section 87(3) of FOIA seems to indicate that the effective date is five years from the date the Act was passed i.e. 30/11/05 (see Part III Repeals) I was hoping someone could confirm this as I have not heard very much about it and it will certainly complicate the subject access process for public authorities. Thanks, Roy
