FOI Podcasts
Ibrahim Hasan, one of the Directors of Act Now Training, has for some time been producing podcasts commenting on the decisions of the Information Commissioner and Tribunal and interviewing key people in this field. This is the only FOI podcast in the UK and has been mentioned in The Times and other legal journals.
The latest podcast was produced in March 2008. It discusses:
- More guidance on what is information under FOI
- Release of sensitive information relating to the circumstances around the Iraq war
- A Tribunal decision on the definition of personal data
- The overturning of the Information Commissioner’s decision ordering disclosure of ASBO information
- Disclosure of salaries
- And the first decision requiring disclosure of legal advice on public interest grounds
There is also comment and analysis from Tim Turner of Wigan Council.
