Thank you for this. One quote below I find interesting, somewhat worrying and I suspect very sound advice
"The Earl of Northesk observed that Freedom of Information requests were more effective than Parliamentary Questions."

I think that senior politicians will only start to take serious notice when it reaches the front pages of the papers. I have an idea about this, but it'll take several weeks to bring it to fruition - maybe in time for the BT AGM, who knows?

Perhaps it needs to make those front pages as a Home Office issue, just to jog her memory!
