Giving the Commons grief
It's not only Rother Council which has been quarrelling with whatdotheyknow.com. The House of Commons authorities are also over the site's policy of automatically publishing responses to freedom of information requests.
This dispute has attracted the attention of Cabinet Office IT minister Tom Watson (himself an FOI requester when a backbench MP), who 'Oh good grief'. Is it safe to assume that it is the stance of the Commons which is the cause of his exasperation?
UPDATE: I should stress that, following the of the Information Commissioner's Office, Rother Council are now answering requests received via whatdotheyknow.
