Legislation phased in from Monday
The Freedom of Information Act will lead to a more open, transparent government, according to an expert.
The new legislation - which will see public officials held more accountable by the public - begins its phased introduction on Monday (Feb 1).
Only the Cabinet Office and the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture will be subject to initial requests.
A timetable bringing in other departments, public bodies and local authorities runs into 2018.
Paul Gibbons says it will bring more clarity to Manx politics:
DHSC 'actively exploring' ways to increase ED capacity
'Whole community development' needed in north and west
MU completes work to tackle odour in Peel
Information Commissioner rules DESC mishandled FOI on lecturer contracts
