Bubb: proposals to extend FoI to charities must be ‘resisted at all costs’

Bubb: proposals to extend FoI to charities must be ‘resisted at all costs’: Charities must accept transparency disclosures in public sector contracts, but should resist “at all costs” proposals to extend the Freedom of Information Act to the sector, Stephen Bubb, chief executive of Acevo, has said.

Bubb, head of the infrastructure body for chief executives, wrote in a blog post earlier this week that his charity plans to draw up a code of practice for information disclosure in public contracts, in response to suggestions from MPs that charities should be subject to FoI requests.
