Recommendation
The Cabinet Office should also issue clearer cross-government guidance on the need to maintain public record to take into account the rise of private messaging systems. Finally, the Government needs to revisit its decision to exempt the Advanced Research and Invention Agency from the Freedom of Information Act, to ensure that this is not a precedent. It should set out clearly that this is an exception and why it is so.
