Britain has a secrecy problem.
In 2024, the govt answered just 29% of Freedom of Information requests - the lowest rate since FOI began.
Secrecy fuels corruption, bad governance, scandals covered-up to protect elites. Ministers don't answer questions in parliament.

There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.
