On what grounds under the freedom of information act were our dictators
actually objecting? Public safety? Or maybe their own safety of
keeping their over paid jobs. It's typical of this government to
compile a report and either cover it up or simply ignore it's
recommendations. The sad thing is the tax payer pays for all these
ignored reports and most don't even realise.
From BBC News
ID card reviews 'to be published'
The government has been ordered to publish two reviews into the ID cards
scheme after a four-year battle.
"Gateway" reviews are carried out on government projects by independent
assessors who look at their progress and likely success.
The government has been fighting Freedom of Information attempts to get
the reviews into the controversial scheme published.
It argues that confidentiality is essential to the reviews' process.
But in a judgement published on Friday, the Information Tribunal - which
hears appeals against FOI rulings - ordered both reports be disclosed
within 28 days - although it said the names of contributors to the
reports could be withheld.
