The Freedom of Information (Additional Public Authorities) Order 2008

Hazel's comment:
comes at the beginning!
What follows is a copy of the Statutory Instrument which brings several organisations into the remit of the Freedom of Information Act. I presume that the organisations concerned know that they are now subject to this but do the plebs that might want to take advantage of this by putting a question to any of the bodies listed? [see the list at the end].
I've included all the blurb so that you can see how awkward it is sometimes to find out what is going on.

The Secretary of State, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 4(1) and (6) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000(1), makes the following Order:
