    Is it above the law?

    they are plenty of organisations not covered by the FOI...it does not make them "above the law"

    I'd imagine the excuse will be along the lines of commercial sensitivities or something similar

    The very fact that our taxes pay it's employees would render it such imho.

    Any information of a commercially sensitive nature might have justification for an exclusion for a period of 1 or 2 years but otherwise, I don't see an argument for the exclusion of any state / semi-state organisation from the FOI act.

    Should be but isn't. What's your point ?

    On such reasoning, you should have access to my medical records.
