Christopher Corbin left an annotation (15 October 2009)
To remove the Office of Public Sector Information requires a change to the Statutory Instrument 1515 of 2005.
The Office of Public Sector Information currently has a regulatory function in the secondary law that transposes the European Directive 2003/98/EC.
A change of the UK Secondary law to remove the Office of Public Sector Information and change it to another name The National Archives has an impact and a public consultation would be expected.
