First published in 1987 this book considers the practical
implications of increasing public access to official information in
Britain, both from the perspective of increasing Freedom of
Information and reforming Section 2 of the Official Secrets Act. It
draws attention to the practical problems such changes would pose
for both politicians and civil servants working in an adversarial
system of government. It examines the effects of proposed changes
on the conventions which are a fundamental feature of the British
constitution. It also considers the political significance of
reforms, both to demands for increased public participation in
policy-making and to actual policies. Local and international
perspectives on open government are included in order to provide an
informed insight into an important issue of contemporary concern.
