Thank the Lords

It looks like David MacLean's attempt to exclude MPs from the Freedom of Information Act will fail, not because MPs see it as a step too far, but because no-one will sponsor it in the House of Lords.

Although ostensibly about protecting MPs correspondence - which is already covered by other exemptions - it was actually to do with hiding their expenses. All the more reason to look very, very, closely at next year's claims when they are published.
