Power to the people.
It’s refreshingly good to see journalists tackle the real issues that we mortals really care about instead of pandering to the political whims of the Westminster spin machine.
God be with you in your efforts.
The timing of the recent Conway episode, with the main parties rushing to order disclosure by their MPs, would seem to provide the guvmint with one of its stock refusals to disclose – that it has plans in effect to do so. Is this any concern for your case ?

It’s too late for the Commons (not the Government in this case) to rely on tha argument. The Tribunal looks at what happened, or was likely to happen, at the imte of the decision to refuse information, not at the circumstances now.
What was the result ?
David,
No result yet … the Tribunal should reach its decision by the end of March,
the deputy chairman told us.
Best,

along with Heather)
Heather,
You’re fantastic. Keep up the great work.
Ben
