| "The thinking behind it"? You make it sound like they had a choice and after due consideration opted to publish it. They were legally compelled to provide Nick with a copy of the report and instructions as a result of the Information Commissioner's Decision Notice a week or so ago; they could have appealed if they continued to refuse to provide it, but presumably the legal advice was they would lose on appeal. So they had no choice but to publish it. What a capitulation. So I know why it was published and don't need an evasive "media statement" to tell me. What I don't know is why the WPCC resolutely refused to publish this report in the first place and kept it under lock and key for over a year. They claimed various things at the time (which now obviously they are completely overlooking) such as commercial sensitivity. So what was the real reason? Thanks to the "past conservator" (What the?) for providing levy payers with something that the current lot singularly refused to provide. Well done, Nick. |
