A
public authority has to register the fact that it is a public authority as part
of the registrable particulars.
Check
OIC register of data controllers.
If
not registered, might get more interesting!! (but there are reasons why
registration is not needed – before we jump to
conclusions)

It is
interesting that you have queried if an organisation is a public authority. I
recently tried to find out if an organisation, not Amnesty, was a public
authority, and the Ministry of Justice confirmed to me that there was no up-to
-date definitive list of public authorities. The only recourse is to ask the
organisation and rely on their answer.
Apparently
Schedule 1 of the Act is the only list at present. available, unless someone out
there knows differently,

Some of this info will be FOI. Is Amnesty
a public authority?
I discuss some ICO decisions in episode 7 and 8.
