12. The Rev Barry Lee asked -

(a) Has any clergyman of this Diocese sought access to files kept on him by the Archbishop or other Diocesan authorities under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act? and

(b) If so, what were the results?

To which the President replied -

(a) No, so far as I am aware. I point out that Freedom of Information legislation applies to public bodies and accordingly has no application to office holders of this Church or Diocesan authorities.

(b) Not applicable.
