How To Request Information Through The Freedom Of Information Act

How do I request information?

The simplest means is by a letter or e-mail. There is no designated form for requesting information in this country, although at least one other country does insist that you submit your request on a form. So, any requests for information will come under Freedom of Information Act. Now, for statistical purposes, government departments may differ over whether they treat every request for information as being under the Act or whether they require you to mention it before they list it under Freedom of Information statistics. That's mostly for the purpose of evaluating the magnitude of the duties under the Act.
