"Act not as good as code"
The Positive Action Group says the Freedom of Information Act is better late than never – but there are still flaws.
Chief Minister Allan Bell revealed the long-awaited legislation will come in gradually from next February and will only cover information since 2011.

But he says he’s disappointed with the restrictions placed on the Act, which would replace a current voluntary code:
Palatine GP changes booking system
MGP Supporters Club to make decision on charity next month
Isle of Man residents to take medical supplies to Cuba
"Clowngate": MHKs start 2026 with a war of words
Island has to 'plan for things we hope will never happen'
