Following my post yesterday, it is great to see Heather Brooke on the cover of the Guardian’s G2 supplement today. Her story is a fascinating (but all too brief) account of the efforts she had to go to to secure access to information on MPs’ expenses. Some of the quotes from the Parliamentary officials are priceless.

“Transparency will damage democracy.” Andrew Walker, Head of House of Commons Fees Office

Wow!
