So much for freedom of information… The City council have refused to provide any of the information requested in a Freedom of information request submitted by Tim Campbell on 13th March 2008. The request was as follows:
“All correspondence and minutes of meetings between Scudamores Punting Company and their solicitors Pinsent Mason and Cambridge City council (officers, councilors) and their solicitors.” between October 2007 and the date the request was submitted.
The request was denied on the grounds that “the information that has been requested falls within the legal professional privilege exemption.” All the information apparently, not one single thing isn’t covered by it…
