Crossrail Publications Scheme

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) was passed on 30 November 2000. The FOIA gives a general right of access to all types of recorded information held by public authorities, sets out exemptions from that right and places a number of obligations on public authorities.

Under the FOIA every public authority is required to adopt and maintain a publications scheme setting out the classes of information it holds, the manner in which it intends to publish the information, and whether a charge will be made for the information. The purpose of a scheme is to ensure a significant amount of information is available, without the need for a specific request. Schemes are intended to encourage organisations to publish more information pro-actively and to develop a greater culture of openness.

The aim of this publications scheme is to outline the information about Crossrail that is available to the public. This scheme is divided into a number of sections, and classes of information are grouped within those sections. It also sets out the terms, conditions and the procedures for accessing the information, and our complaints procedure.
