A small number of public authorities subject to the FOI Act are also registered as charities. Other charitable bodies do not meet the conditions for inclusion within Schedule 1 of the FOI Act.
In 2015, the Cabinet Office established an Independent Commission to look into the workings of FOI. The Independent Commission reported in March 2016 and on the issue of charities and extension of FOI, it concluded that “the Commission had not received persuasive evidence that the Act should be extended to charities in their own right.”
At present, the Government is not persuaded of the need to amend the legislation to include all charities and there are no plans to undertake further consultations at this time.
