FREEDOM OF INFORMATION STATISTICS

I have  used the Freedom of Information Act four times in the last five years.  Some of the details revealed have been the basis for two posts on this site and two at the previous location.  For that facility along with thousands of others who have made similar applications I have to thank Tony Blair.  Of course the prime minister who was  as much an actor.....the face of New  Labour as he was a politician has since regretted that he initiated that legislation; perhaps the most citizen friendly Act of Parliament for decades.  My old friend the Ministry of Justice has today published statistics on applications under that act........peruse here.
