The Minister asks
You are a minister in the Cabinet Office. But you are also a constituency MP. Your local council has been running an anti-littering campaign, and you want to know how many litterers have been fined.
How do you find out? Naturally, you submit a freedom of information request. 
Well, it's a right available to every citizen, and that includes the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Liam Byrne.
The answer: on average, three a week (and some of them refuse to pay).
It's not known if Gordon Brown has made any freedom of information requests.
