NMSI - Freedom of information enquiry form

Freedom of Information Enquiry Form

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 gives you the right of access to all types of recorded information held by NMSI and imposes obligations on us to disclose that information, subject to a range of exemptions. The Act also requires us to prepare a publication scheme which sets out the classes of information the NMSI publishes or intends to publish; the manner in which it will be published, and whether it is available free of charge. Its aim is to provide the information you are most likely to want to see.

The Act states Freedom of Information requests should be made in writing - post, email or fax.

If after consulting the NMSI Publication Scheme you are unable to find the information you want, you can submit a Freedom of Information Enquiry using an online form, by post or fax, or by email.

In general, the NMSI will respond to requests within 20 working days from receipt of the request. If we find we do not hold the information you require, we will notify you as soon as possible, and endeavour to give you the contact details of the authority that might.
