Today's news is that the Information Commissioner has ordered the Government to release secret exchanges between Mrs Thatcher and Home Secretary Douglas Hurd about Hillsborough. Campaigners believe that they contain Mrs T's attempts to cover up the failings of the police. Normally, such information would remain secret for 30 years, but the Commissioner is responding to a request under the Freedom of Information Act that this is a matter of public interest. I suspect that Downing Street may try and wriggle out of this one... I mean where will it all end? A dangerous precedent, methinks...
Sorry, BH - Just seen you've already pointed us in the direction of this info from yesterday's news... But I'll leave mine now, as people (myself included) don't always bother to click on those links!
