5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely useful, 30 Jul 2007
Brooke walks you through how to go about making a successful request and how to get the most from the Freedom of Information Act. This is an invaluable book for all those who want to use the Freedom of Information Act to access public information. Personally I use it as a resource and find myself referring to it when faced with new problems or if I want to find out who to contact and in which Government department. The template letters in the back are also very helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Feel Empowered with this book, 16 Jul 2009
By ---Iain--- (Cambridgeshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I, for a long time, have been a fan of people like Mark Thomas, not because of what their politics are but the way that they actively exercise our rights in the name of comedy and civil liberties - Buy, beg or borrow Mark Thomas's DVD Seriously Organised Criminal. That was the inspiration for me buying this book and I have used it to seek to get information out of a certain north Cambridgeshire council who will remain nameless.

Public authorities do not tell you that you have a right to know, they would much rather that you didn't. This book explains your rights and where to expand your understanding further, the Act itself is as all laws is only as good as how it is used and the legal precidents set at tribuneral and the rulings of the information commissioner.

The book explains how the act has been recieved by public authorities, Health Service, Local Authorities etc and explains the exemptions upon which information requests can be refused. The standard letters for requests and responces to refusals, should be invaluable to the citizen activist, lobbyist or journalist who is seeking to raise the veil of secrecy and condesention towards the general public of the nanny state.

Well worth having on anyone's quick reference shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars good reference book, 18 Jun 2009
By Ms. Susan Jane Kaye "Jane K" (Manchester England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Handy to have in your library. It's comprehensive and easy to read. The relevant legislation is quoted which is a great help when dealing with "jobsworths"
