Is there any form that can be filled in easily to obtain information using the Freedom of Information Act?

I have tried googling this, but it’s proving very difficult on the Government’s website for a specific address, isn’t there any general form you can fill in?

From admittedly limited experience. I recommend [https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/](https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/).

Alternatively, you could just find out the relevant email address and send them your question.

Some bodies might have a form they’d prefer you to use, but I’ve never seen one.

Thanks Jonathan, I`ll give it a try.
