Farron speaks up in Freedom of Information debate
Local MP, Tim Farron has today spoken in a Westminster Hall debate in parliament in protest at the government's proposals to make it more difficult to make freedom of information requests. The government's plans suggest a reduction of the level at which a Freedom of Information request can be denied on the grounds of cost, the level currently stands at £600 for request to Government departments. This will inevitably result in more and more requests being turned down.
