Varying progress on Freedom of Information

The second quarter of this year saw a significant drop in the number of requests made to the Government under the Freedom of Information Act, with 8,400 requests between April and June. This is a drop of 38% compared to the first quarter of the year, when the new law came in fully.

The Home Office and HM Treasury were the worst performing departments, responding to 44% and 46% of requests respectively within the required 20 day period.
