Freedom of Information

The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) 2000 has given a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, setting out exemptions from that right and placing a number of obligations on public authorities. Requests for personal data to which the applicant is the subject automatically become subject access requests under the Data Protection Act.

As a public authority, Lancashire Police Authority will, of course, comply with the obligations placed upon it by the Act.
