FOI at the Festival of Politics, Friday 26 August 2011
Scottish Information Commissioner Kevin Dunion hosted a lively and thought provoking seminar at the Scottish Parliament's Festival of Politics in August. Over 40 guests had the opportunity to hear from campaigners, government, commerce and ordinary members of the public, reflecting on their own experiences and the impact that the internet and new media are having on FOI and open government in Scotland.
