Confronting corruption - Extend FoI Act remit

For the second time, British Prime Minister David Cameron has had to acknowledge that official reports on a tragedy were based on police or security force dishonesty.

He had apologised because police lied to protect themselves after the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. He had made a similarly abject admission about British Army murders and cover-ups in Derry in 1972.

Mr Cameron has had to watch too as Leveson exposed entirely inappropriate activities by former aides, friends, as well as reprehensible police behaviour.
