(a)       to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it

Section 1(6) of the Act designates as the “duty to confirm or deny”), and

 

(b)       if that is the case, to have that information communicated to
him.

 

The right is to obtain access to the information itself and not to the
document or record which contains it.

 

The Act creates a general right of access to information held by public
authorities subject to various exemptions.

 

1. Who owns this land.

 

The land in question is owned by Northumberland County Council.
