Information we cannot disclose under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
- Release of information under FOI is release to the world. Public authorities are not allowed to take account of the identity of the person making the request, or their motives, when deciding what information will be disclosed in response to an FOI request. For this reason, FOIA contains a number of exemptions which may prevent the disclosure of certain information. The Data Protection Act (DPA) gives individuals a right of access to information we hold about them.
- More information about how to make a request to UKEB under the DPA.

Publication scheme
The Freedom of Information (FOI) Act requires all public authorities to produce a Publication Scheme that specifies the classes of information which the public authority publishes or intends to publish.
Classes of information
The UKEB website is the source of the information covered by the publication scheme as well as any other information we routinely make available. The classes of information are:
- Who we are and what we do
- What we spend and how we spend it
- What our priorities are and how we are doing
- How we make decisions
