It appears that our MP (here in the constituency of Shoreham & East Worthing), Tim Loughton, is in a minority of one notable MPs on the Conservative side against an amendment to the Freedom of Information Act which would allow MPs and Peers, and only MPs and Peers, to be exempt from the Act.
This from the Guardian:
Last night Tory opposition was also growing with Tim Loughton, the Tory frontbench spokesman on children and MP for Worthing East and Shoreham, cancelling a visit to Birmingham so he could oppose the proposal and Lord Baker, the Tory former cabinet minister, deciding to vote against the measure in the Lords.
At least some politicians appear to care about right and wrong — it’s a shame so many of them are in opposition.
Let’s hope David Cameron can be convinced not to abstain, but instead to show that he believes in democracy and whip up a vote against Gordon Brown’s abuse of power.
