Local Audit and Accountability Act 2014

Paragraph 9: Access to meetings and documents

96.This paragraph explains that public interest reports and recommendations are not considered as excluded or exempt information with regards to provisions made in the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 and the Local Government Act 1972. This means that a public interest report and recommendations should be included with other documents (as set out in the Local Government Act 1972) as being open to public inspection and should not be considered as excluded material if a newspaper requests it under the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960.
