OTOH, I suppose it does feel like you're in an open democracy when some guy can just ask them and blow the whole thing open...

Further to the employee question...
At the same time Tizard announced the satire and parody exemption review which has, I assume, been buried, she set in train a repeal of the 'commissioning rule'.
Which appears to still be in train, even if I don't quite know what it is.
