: UK Freedom of Information Act BlogBBC R4 The Report on FOI and MPs' expenses
Simon Cox gets behind the headlines engulfing MPs about their expenses and explores how the system of allowances was allowed to get out of control. The programme charts the origin of the row back to the enactment of freedom of information laws and reveals how proposed changes, which could have averted the crisis, were repeatedly thwarted by MPs themselves.http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00jkr1q
