Start set for February next year
The Freedom of Information Act will come in gradually across Government, starting early next year.
The roll-out will start in February next year with full implementation two years later.
An Independent Information Commissioner will oversee its operation. And along with a number of exemptions, the Act won't go back further than the start of the present administration, in 2011.
Chief Minister Allan Bell says the gradual rollout is for practical reasons:

MHK frustrated DOI hasn't yet submitted horse tram business plan
"We think it's inhumane the way he was treated."
Take the time to include those with hearing loss, says charity CEO
