Details

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI Act) and the associated Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIRs) came fully into force on 1 January 2005.

This bulletin presents statistics on their implementation within the central government monitored bodies for the quarterly period of October to December 2023.

Statistics standards and policies

These statistics have been independently reviewed by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR). They comply with the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics. Accredited official statistics are called National Statistics in the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007.

Accreditation signifies their compliance with the authority’s Code of Practice for Statistics which broadly means these statistics are:

• managed impartially and objectively in the public interest
• meet identified user needs
• produced according to sound methods
• well explained and readily accessible

Our statistical practice is regulated by the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR).

OSR sets the standards of trustworthiness, quality and value in the Code of Practice for Statistics that all producers of official statistics should adhere to.

These statistics were independently reviewed by the OSR in June 2017. See Assessment Report 328 Freedom of Information Statistics - implementation in Central Government. Since this review by the OSR, we have continued to comply with the Code of Practice for Statistics.

All Cabinet Office official statistics are governed by the standards set out by the UK Statistics Authority in their code of practice. These can be found on our statistics standards and policies page. Further detail on the production of the FOI statistics can be found on our FOI statistics supporting documents page.
