Unveiling the Lords

Martin Rosenbaum | 15:21 UK time, Thursday, 26 June 2008

I've been trying for some time (well, for over two years) to obtain minutes of meetings of the . Having extracted further disclosures from HoLAC via a decision from the Information Commissioner, I am now pursuing a case at the Information Tribunal.

This week HoLAC sent me some more extracts which it has now decided - 'on reflection' - to release (extracts which the Information Commissioner thought it would be against the public interest to disclose).

So here is the House of Lords Appointments Commission performing the dance of the seven veils as it gradually uncovers more and more of one page of the information requested - at the initial stage, after I initiated a complaint to the Information Commissioner, after the Commissioner's decision, and (the latest so far) after I initiated the appeal to the Tribunal.
