The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to uprate Freedom of Information Act cost thresholds.

The cost thresholds above which public authorities are not obliged to comply with a Freedom of Information request are set out in secondary legislation. Any changes to FOI legislation will be subject to Parliamentary scrutiny.
