Hi all, could someone please tell me if I can, or have the right to (either as an individual or from an employer point of view), request the information that a Local Authority holds on file in reference to safety inspections by EHO's?

Quote from UK Govt web-site - direct.gov.uk
"The FOI gives you the right to ask any public body for all the information they have on any subject you choose. Also, unless there’s a good reason, the organisation must provide the information within a month. You can also ask for all the personal information they hold on you.
Scotland has its own Freedom of Information Act, which is very similar to the England, Wales and Northern Ireland Act. If the public authority you want to make a request to operates only in Scotland then your request will be handled under the Scottish Act instead.
The Freedom of Information Act applies to all public authorities"

I believe they can ask for a fee for the service as well. Not sure what that might be.
