The Freedom of Information Act (FOI) requires all public authorities to produce a Publication Scheme, which explains the types of information they publish or plan to publish.
You can request any recorded information held by the agency.
The FOIA does not apply to Official Receivers when exercising their statutory functions under insolvency law. In these circumstances they are officers of the court, and not public authorities as defined by FOIA nor are they one of the listed public authorities in schedule 1 of FOIA. The Official Receiver is therefore not obliged to respond to FOI requests.
You can request copies of your own personal data under data protection legislation by making a Subject Access Request.
