Question:

What are the Negative Aspects of the Freedom of Information Act?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-Law hasn't prevented further Cover Ups. Journalists who want to see MP's Expense Claims via FOI Request found out the Information given was Redacted, so Information from Leaks instead -Far Weaker than similar laws in Other Nations. Security Service not part of this, Arms deals not part of this and MPs exempted correspondence with each other.. -Government can Limit the Law. After the 'Black Spider Memos' Government amended the FOI Act to Exempt Royal Correspondence
