Privy Council
The Privy Council is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000.The Privy Council Office (PCO) is a government department that  supports the work of the Privy Council.  The PCO is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We have taken the decision to list the Privy Council separately on the site partly because the PCO has refused to provide information in its possession that is held on behalf of the Privy Council. The site now allows users to address requests directly to the Privy Council but we acknowledge that a number of practical difficulties remain for those who wish to obtain information held by the Privy Council.
