Abstract
Chapter 23 describes the regimes created by Scottish legislation to provide access to information held by Scottish public authorities. These regimes are those established by the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and also the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004. The devolved system of government is then described. The chapter notes that the UK and Scottish Acts share a similar structure, but identifies the points of difference and covers the application of the UK regimes in Scotland. A detailed analysis of the provisions of the Scottish Act, Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations, codes of practice, and the roles of the Scottish Information Commissoner and the Keeper of the Records of Scotland follows. Finally the chapter considers the enforcement of the Scottish Act and other methods of obtaining official information.
