The Freedom of Information Reform (Scotland) Bill was introduced to Parliament by Katy Clark MSP on 1 November 2022.

STUC submission to the Scottish Parliament's Standards, Procedures and Public Appointments Committee call for views on the Freedom of Information Reform (Scotland) Bill
The STUC has a longstanding policy in support of strengthening Freedom of Information legislation, and in support of the Campaign for Freedom of Information Scotland (CFoIS). Within a context of ever-increasing outsourcing of public services, we believe this Bill will help improve transparency in Scotland.
