Pledge that the Scottish Government will do more to abide by freedom of information laws

Why is this important?

Scottish Government ministers should publicly promise to be more open. They should not delay or block responses to freedom of information requests - and should provide answers within legal deadlines. At the moment,the Scottish Government aren't being as open as they should. It is claimed that meetings aren’t being recorded and they’re missing legal deadlines to get information to the public and journalists.
