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:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two arrests made following reports of man being assaulted near Tesco
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Police say Tesco and car park will remain closed while investigation continues
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Move would 'formally recognise the area’s unique heritage, architectural character and natural environment'
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Bowring Road Tesco store closed following incident in the car park
