1st December 2006

* Keep government open - defend the Freedom of Information Act.
Journalists and groups like Road Block and many local groups find the
FOI Act essential for getting hidden information from government,
councils and quangos. The government is proposing to limit the
time spent on answering FOI requests, and the number of requests anyone
can put in. Sign the petition here: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/freeinformation/
* Although Uttlesford Council have rejected Stansted's proposals, the
fight does not end there. BAA are proposing to force a public inquiry
into the expansion plans, hoping that the Government will overturn UCs
decision. Please sign the petition to Tony Blair on the PMs website
asking him to stop the expansion of Stansted Airport:
