Where does Brown stand on FOI?

The media section of today’s Guardian has a very telling piece on how the PM in waiting’s closest allies are at the heart of various efforts to dampen down the effects of freedom of information act. Yet, at the Hay on Wye festival Brown promised that the bill to exempt MPs from Freedom of Information legislation “will be corrected.” It’ll be interesting to see if this shift in attitude extends to the spirit of the legislation as well as the letter of it or whether it is a purely cosmetic response to popular outrage.
