§ Norman BakerTo ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office how many records were released, broken down by Department, under the Open Government Initiative from 10 January 2002 to 31 December 2002. [119105]
§ Mr. AlexanderA breakdown by Department of the records released under the Open Government Initiative (OGI) from 10 January 2002 to 31 December 2002 is not available centrally. The requirement for periodic returns under the OGI, the last of which reflected the position as at 31 December 2001, has diminished over the years as departments have dealt with the major task of re-reviewing closed records. There are currently no plans to conduct a further updating exercise.
