The Freedom of Information Publication Scheme provides information on our key areas of accountability and performance against targets as well as information on the internal operation of the National Maritime Museum, Royal Observatory Greenwich, Cutty Sark and Queen's House.

In deciding the content of the Publication Scheme, the Museum has taken due regard of the public interest in the information that it holds.
