FOI database compilation shows need for standards

The Campaign for Freedom of Information in Scotland (CFoIS) has said that the first exercise by the Scottish Information Commissioner to collate FOI statistics across Scotland showed the need for a standard method of collating FOI information.

Carole Ewart, Co-Convener of the CFoIS, said:

“The publication of these statistics is a welcome step towards creating an authoritative Scottish database. However it does show the problems of different methods of collection and demonstrates the need for a standard methodology across all authorities.”
