Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations (PSIR)
On 1 July 2005, as a result of a European Directive, new regulations came into force that allow the public to apply to re-use information held by the Audit Commission to promote their own research and publications.
'Re-use' means using the information for a purpose other than the purpose for which the document was originally produced. This could include a commercial purpose. 'Documents' covers written texts, databases, audio files and film fragment.
