Brown Will Not Block Secrecy Bid

[Sharaz]

Have just watched the news on BBC and Brown says he will make Government and its institutions more open. Those fighting it out for the deputy leadership appear to be of the same view. Even had the Tory education minister on TV this morning saying the vote for this was an embarassment for British politics. So if the concensus of opinion of those higher up the political ladder seem to think the Freedom of Information Act should apply to all, then what have those lower down in the political hierarchy got to hide?. I for one would surely like to know, now. If Government is to be more honest and open then the House of Lords need to throw out The Freedom of Information (exemption) Bill out and pressure should be put on all politicians in the House of Commons to defeat it when it is returned to their jurisdiction.
