Gove to limit the Freedom of Information Act
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/3e10b852-1...44feabdc0.html
Quote:
Michael Gove, the justice secretary, is considering making it more difficult to procure information from government bodies, including allowing officials to count “thinking time” when calculating how much it costs to retrieve information.
One plan is to make it easier for ministers to veto publication of certain documents, as they tried unsuccessfully to do with the recent release of letters written by Prince Charles to Labour ministers during the past decade.
Another is to change the way the cost of finding information is calculated so that officials can more readily turn down requests.
