Heard about this last night on, of all things, Radio 4's the News Quiz. Sandi Toksvig seemed to make an unscripted announcement that the Bill had gone through the Commons on the nod, and would effectively exempt MPs (and Lords) from the Freedom of Information Act.
This was done on the day that everyone was busy reporting the arrest of TCB's aide, and the ONLY news report on this I can find was the Grauniad.
A good day to bury bad news? Another erosion of the right of the great unwashed to find out what their elected representatives are up to?
And will Toksvig get slapped by the BBC hierarchy? - certainly the other panellists seemed a bit uncertain about what was going on.
