The FOI Act allows the public a right of access to information held by Government (with some exemptions). The UKHO is an information provider, as it
already makes much of its information available, by selling a range of
hydrographic products and services.
As a Trading Fund Agency of the MOD our policy is to follow guidance issued by
the MOD. For more information about UKHO and its status as a Trading Fund,
see About Us.
