Publication Scheme

Welcome to the Publication Scheme of the Northern Ireland Office (NIO).

This publication scheme is a guide to the information that NIO routinely publishes or intends to publish. It meets NIO’s responsibilities under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

We have published a ‘Guide to Information which outlines the information available, the format in which it is available, for example printed or online, whether there is a cost for obtaining the printed information and from where the information can be obtained.

If you are looking for information about the NIO and any of its executive agencies, you might find it helpful to use this ‘Guide to Information’ as your starting point. You might also find it useful to refer to “Inforoute’ which is a register of Government Information Assets. This is available online at the Office of Public Sector Information

Alternatively you may access the information available under this publication scheme by clicking on one of the seven categories of information below:

1. Who we are and what we do

2. What we spend and how we spend it

3. What are our priorities and how are we doing

4. How we make decisions

5. Our policies and procedures

6. Lists and registers

7. The services we offer

If you have any queries regarding NIO’s publication scheme, please contact the NIO’s Freedom of Information Team on 020 7210 0840 or by e-mail
