Weighty matters
What are people's expectations of the Freedom of Information Act? Well, a letter writer in the Western Mail this morning seems to believe that the Act entitles him to know everything about anything:
SIR - Under the Freedom of Information Act our children should be told the weight and waist measurement of all our MPs, AMs and SMPs.
I am not clear what the public interest element is in holding this information. However, what I do know is that in my own case I try to avoid knowing anything about my waist measurement and weight at all.
