Joined WhatDoTheyKnow in 2011
I make FOIA requests to get info disclosed that everyone should be able to see:
“Secrecy, on the other hand, begets arbitrariness and misgovernment. In the words of Lord Jenkins, it is wrong to deprive the electorate of information about the processes of government ‘for where they are bad they remain bad and get worse in the dark’.
(HL Deb vol 483, col 175, 17 December 1986).”
I try to help if I can but please remember that I am not a lawyer or a professional welfare rights advisor.
