Dave sighed: > Doesn't it inspire confidence to think that DEFRA are on our side?
Fabulous, fills you with confidence, the people that mishandled the Farmer's subsidies and then incurred a huge EC fine as a result of which they slashed many budgets including BW's. I expect that the Civil Servants involved have got their performance bonuses though! I'm still pursuing an FOI request on behalf of SOW that started with Defra's refusal of my request in Jan 2007. It went to the Information Commissioner's Office in Feb 2007 and I'm still waiting. The ICO send a 'we're still working on it' letter every 6 months or so but, generally, only if I chase it. Miliband, the minister at the time has had three changes of responsibility since then to my knowledge and nearly debunked to Europe. The chances of anyone being held accountable are zero. Roger
