Just one small caveat about Susan's message. Useful though the guide is, as
it admits in its own introduction, it "does not cover in detail, related
questions of records management". Nevertheless a handy read.

Subject: FOI in local authorities
The LGA and the Constitution Unit at UCL have just produced a short guide
to
the FOI Act aimed specifically at local authorities. As well as outlining
obligations under the FOI Act it places the Act in a context of other
access
to information legislation affecting local authorities.
It is called
Freedom of Information: Practical Guide to the Freedom of Information Act
2000 for Local Authorities.
It costs £10 for local authorities and £20 for others, and can be purchased
from IDeA Publication Sales, Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London
EC1M 5LG. Quote LGA ref CA147 and send a cheque payable to IDeA with your
order (I have taken these details from the booklet itself)
By the way, for those interested in the FOI Fees Regulations, I see a draft
is available on the Lord Chancellor's Department's website - go to
http://www.lcd.gov.uk/foi/secleg.htm
Happy reading ...
