Recommendation 12
12
Paragraph: 66
The Information Commissioner’s Office plays an important enforcement and advocacy role for Freedom of Information.
Conclusion
The Information Commissioner’s Office plays an important enforcement and advocacy role for Freedom of Information. The Committee notes with concern the financial pressures facing the organisation which are not commensurate with the caseload it faces. The Committee notes the unsatisfactory Machinery of Government split with financial responsibility for the Information Commissioner’s Office’s Freedom of Information budget sitting with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport whilst the policy responsibility for Freedom of Information lies with the Cabinet Office.
