FOI slot on 5Live

Martin Rosenbaum | 18:59 UK time, Friday, 11 April 2008

My colleague Nicola Beckford will be doing a regular 'freedom of information slot' on BBC Radio 5Live's new investigative journalism programme, presented by Donal Macintyre.

The show started last Sunday, when Nicola revealed new data gathered under FOI about how often police officers have been accessing police records for their own personal purposes. It will continue its run on Sunday evenings at 7.00 o'clock.

I would have blogged this last week but I was away. That meant I also missed the revelations about MPs' expenses, which stemmed from freedom of information requests from the BBC and others. (Note to self: remember not to book a holiday for a date three years after the BBC has put in an important FOI request).
