APPSI responds to POI
The UK Advisory Panel on Public Sector Information (APPSI) has published their submission to the UK Cabinet Office Power of information task force beta version of the power of information report.
The submission at paragraph 1.4 states:
“This report is a majority report but is not agreed by all members. The Trading Fund representative on the Panel is not able to agree with or support this submission.”
In response to the draft Power of information report recommendation 18 APPSI states:
“7.2 APPSI wishes to point out that OPSI has achieved a great deal from existing resources. However, OPSI’s potential to achieve far more is constrained by those resources. If public sector information is to be recognised for the asset that it is, and is going to become ever more important as a means of engaging with citizens, and as a platform for innovation, then it is essential that clear leadership and authority, backed by resources, is vested in OPSI to ensure that the recommendations made in the draft report are driven forward.”
