Issue of the week: Freedom of information
Public sector archives: 'a publicity minefield'
ONE OF the “greatest pieces of legislation to affect the public sector in
many years” is soon to come into effect — but glaring gaps in
preparedness may mean dirty secrets will return to haunt organisations.
That is PR Week’s (March 12) assessment of the public sector’s
readiness for the Freedom of Information Act, which comes into force
on January 1 next year.
It fears that phones will be “ringing off the hook” in public authorities
as members of the public and journalists demand their right to access
to the written records they hold.

Fearsome arm of Victorian law

It wasn't a good idea to get on
the wrong side of the law in the
1800s, when Norfolk police
officers were issued with
cutlasses as part of their
armoury.
The ancient weapon is one of
the artefacts displayed in a new
exhibition of policing in the
Wymondham area from
Victorian Times to the 1960s, on
show at the town's heritage
museum.
