Freedom of Information


Freedom of Information Act Publication Scheme

The MCA’s Publication Scheme, which is subordinate to that of the Department for Transport, specifies the categories of information that the Agency publishes, explains how to obtain that information, and makes it clear whether a charge is made for providing that information.

The MCA will take reasonable steps to satisfy requests for the provision of published information in a non-standard format.
