Tony WrightTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport if she will list the administrative manuals and internal guidance which her Department has made public as required by Part 1 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information; and which of these were first made available after May 1997. [45339]
§ Dr. HowellsMy Department's interface with the public is conducted largely through our 66 NDPBs. Information about our commitment to the Code of Practice and Modernising Government is on our website, under the Open Government heading. Reference is made there to our procedure guidelines on implementing an 'open' policy.
Internal guidance is currently on our internal communications system and e-mail network and will form part of our forthcoming Publication Scheme, as required under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
