The power of transparency

I have a confession to make - today I have made my first FOI request and it feels good ;-)
The Freedom of Information Act is a really powerful piece of legislation without which the whole debacle of MP's expenses would not have come to light..  I would advise anybody who has a question which they never seem to get answered to submit a FOI request.  Its really easy to do.

My request can be seen by clicking this link What Do They Know.

I'll keep you updated on how I get on.
