Government Hates Transparency

Euan McColm shines a light on the tendency of governments (at every level) to be obstructive and unhelpful when it comes to freedom of information (FoI) requests.

"National Records of Scotland unlawfully blocked requests - under freedom of information legislation - to release details of how many people had died in each of the country’s care homes.

"Those who break the law by failing to answer difficult questions may be motivated by the desire to protect themselves and their political superiors but, as this case shows, they may also be making Scotland a less safe place for the rest of us."

It's certainly been my experience during the long fight for equal pay.
