Description

Does the Labour Government's commitment to Freedom of Information mean the end of excessive secrecy in the UK?

Why has Britain finally decided to join the many other countries that enjoy a 'right to know'?

This book places the current UK debate over open government in its political context.

Robertson argues that just as secrecy reflected the interests of the powerful, so too does freedom of information.

This is a radical and challenging alternative to the conventional view that open government is concerned with empowering 'the people'.
