not all public bodies situated in scotland fall under this remit - scottish-based departments of the ministry of defence, for example, are not subject to the scottish parliament, and thus would be covered by the 2000 act not the 2002 act. similarly the scottish parts of uk-wide bodies such as the forestry commission (which is headquartered in scotland) are subject to the 2000 act rather than the 2002 act, even though they fall within the remit of the scottish parliament. the act also created a scottish information commissioner, whose duties were similar to those of the information commissioner, but limited to the bodies covered by the 2002 act.
