(This note is not part of the Order)

The obligations under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the Act”) apply to public authorities. For the purposes of the Act, a “public authority” means a body or office which is listed in Schedule 1 to the Act or designated by an order under section 5 of the Act, or a publicly-owned company as defined by section 6 of the Act. Additional bodies or offices may be added to Schedule 1 by an order under section 4(1) of the Act provided that the conditions in section 4(2) and (3) are satisfied.

Section 5(1)(a) of the Act provides that the Secretary of State may by order designate as a public authority for the purposes of the Act any person who is neither listed in Schedule 1 nor capable of being added to that Schedule by an order under section 4(1), but who appears to the Secretary of State to exercise functions of a public nature. By section 5(2), such an order may designate a specified person or office or persons or offices falling within a specified description.

Section 7(5) of the Act provides that such an order must specify the functions of the public authority designated by the order with respect to which the designation is to have effect, and limits the application of the Act to information held by the authority relating to the specified functions.

This Order designates as public authorities The Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, The Financial Ombudsman Service Limited and the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (article 2 and column 1 of the Schedule). The functions with respect to which the designation takes effect are listed in column 2 of the Schedule.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
