Dear Sir or Madam,

Why has there not been a government response or summary of the
views expressed in the responses to the consultation paper: Freedom
of Information Act 2000: Designation of additional public
authorities [CP 27/07].

www.justice.gov.uk/publications/cp2707.htm

published 25th October 2007. The close date for the responses was
1st February 2008 - that is eight months ago.

I would like to make a Freedom of Information request to see these
responses.

Yours faithfully,

Stephen Wynn

Dear Goburdhun, Kavita,

Thank you for your e-mail of 2nd October. You said:

"The Government does intend to publish a formal response to the
consultation, including a summary of the responses received, later
this year."

Has this been published yet? I cannot see it on your website:

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Wynn

Dear Goburdhun, Kavita,

Thanks for your e-mail. I look forward to reading the
report. But it is taking rather a long time to appear.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Wynn

Dear Mr Wynn,

Thank you for your emails of 18 January concerning the extension of the
Freedom of Information Act coverage.

The Government is continuing to assess the issues relating to designating
additional public authorities under the Act. We will publish our response
by the summer.
