Nanny's Freedom of Information Officer

As you are all doubtless aware, Nanny has decided to allow her "charges" to find out exactly how she runs the country.

As from yesterday, Nanny's Freedom of Information Act came into force.

This Act supposedly gives the citizens of Britain the right to extract information from Nanny, and her civil servants, about how the country is run and how decisions are made.

Needless to say, Nanny has made sure that it will not be as easy as it first sounds to extract information:

• She appointed her "trusted" and "respected" friend Lord Falconer of The Dome, to oversee the implementation of the Act. He has managed to ensure that the the Act has as many legal loopholes, enabling Nanny to avoid responding to information requests, as a Swiss cheese.



• Nanny also ordered her civil servants to shred and delete all emails, and other electronic documents stored, that were over 3 months old; just in case Falconer "cocked it up".

However Nanny, always concerned about media spin and presentation, has decided that her "charges" need a point of contact; to come to, if they feel that they are getting "short shrift" with their information requests.

To this end she has created a new post, that of Freedom of Information Officer.

Given the high profile nature of this job, Nanny hunted high and low for a man who could provide the necessary gravitas and had experience of dealing with difficult issues and sensitive information.

Nanny was very lucky, a man who exactly fitted the bill came on to the job market over a year ago; he has happily accepted the role.
