Freedom of Information and Environmental Information Regulations responses that central government bodies have chosen to publish on GOV.UK. They are collected through the GOV.UK search API. The collection holds 12,454 responses from 109 named publishers, published between April 2004 and 27 October 2026.
Most FOI answers are never published, so this is not a record of every request a body receives. The Cabinet Office's figures on the Answered on time tab count all requests to central government. To find FOI requests made to councils, the NHS, police and other public bodies, search WhatDoTheyKnow ↗.

The number of responses published each year reflects how much bodies publish on GOV.UK, not how many requests they receive. The current year is incomplete. Publisher and organisation selections apply to this chart. Text search and year filters affect the results list only. Responses without a recorded publication date are left out.
The share of FOI requests each body answered within the 20 working day deadline, as published by the Cabinet Office in its quarterly Freedom of Information statistics ↗. Every body in the held quarter is listed alphabetically. These statistics are no longer refreshed; the held edition is Q1 2026.
