Railways: Environment Protection and Freedom of Information
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the nationalised railways will be subject to (a) the Freedom of Information and (b) Environmental Information Regulations regimes.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
Great British Railways will be subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 in accordance with the statutory provisions that apply to public authorities. This means that information held by these bodies can, in general, be requested under these regimes, subject to the usual exemptions and exceptions.
