Dromedary Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 3 minutes ago, El Cid said: One of the best laws brought in by the Blair Government was the freedom of information laws Which a labour MP Harriet Harman (then leader of the House of Commons) then tried to get MPs in parliament exempt from so as to stop the MPs expenses scandal, thankfully that failed. FOI laws are not what they seem either as a great deal of information can also be withheld or denied in the name of competition and many other reasons. Many times SCC have declined to give information out under FOI requests and I think one of the biggies recently was the tree scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
