What does the Freedom of Information Act 2000 allow? Choose one option then select Submit. Remember Choose 1 option Members of private organisations have the right to access any personal information. Members of the public have the right to access information held by local authorities. Members of the public have no right to ask for information held by organisations.

Answer 1

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives the public the right to access recorded information held by public authorities in the UK, including but not limited to, local government bodies, educational institutions, the National Health Service, etc. It is designed to promote transparency and accountability and involves any recorded information, personal or non-personal. On the other hand, the first option incorrectly refers to private organisations, not public ones, and the final option incorrectly insinuates that the public has no right to seek information; whereas, the Freedom of Information Act 2000 says the complete opposite.
