"Without the FOI, the establishment would have been able to hide even more than it does now. Instead of making it harder for people to get information from public bodies on how they are run, it should be made easier."
-- Norwich North UK MP Ian Gibson (Oct 2006) on raising FOI fees

-- Joanne Caddy, (Nov 2001), "Why citizens are central to good governance", OECD Observer,
