Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005

The Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005 (Statutory Instrument 2005/151) came into force on 1 July 2005.  Cumbria County Council has made a commitment to allow re-use of its information, wherever it is possible and reasonable to do so,  in order to support commercial growth and release the value of its information for the benefit of the economy as a whole. 

The Re-use Regulations establish a framework for making the re-use of information easier.  They compliment existing access to information legislation such as the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.
