"The National Audit Office has published a guide to help government and other public bodies in their preparations for the coming into force in three months time of the Freedom of Information Act.
The new guide, Counting Down: moving from need to know to right to know, prepared in association with the Department for Constitutional Affairs and the Information Commissioner’s Office, concludes that, in general, government bodies have made good progress: for example, in putting in place and maintaining their publication schemes; and in setting up project teams to implement the Act.
However, the guide also identifies significant challenges which will have to be met if requests for information are to be dealt with promptly, efficiently and correctly from 1 January 2005."
