Classes of Information
Under the Model Publication Scheme, the information we provide must be listed under certain "classes" of information. These are the categories of information that are detailed below. As FOI applies to other bodies and sectors across Scotland – such as Scottish Government and Councils for example – this means that not all of the categories in the MPS apply to housing associations/co-operatives.
