Freedom of Information Bill
[“The Bill, which was drafted by the Campaign for Freedom of Information, was introduced under the 10-minute rule procedure on 18 November 1998. This allows a measure to be debated but does not lead to actual legislation. The Bill is a shortened version of the Campaign's previous draft bills, with various procedural and other matters left to secondary legislation. The Bill was introduced by Andrew Mackinlay”.
See in particular the purpose n. 6, assessing that a public authority shall make available on the internet: “(a) a guide sufficient to enable any person wishing to apply to it for information under this Act to identify the classes of records held by it, the subjects to which they relate, the location of any indexes to those records and, so far as is practicable, facilities to enable those indexes to be consulted by any person; (b) an indexed register containing copies of information released in response to requests under this Act other than information relating to the personal affairs of the applicant; (c) any guidance used by the authority in relation to its dealings with the public or with corporate bodies”]
