"Hypocritical" is the best way to describe David Cameron's comments that the Conservatives will try to stop the Bill exempting MPs from the Freedom of Information Act in its current form in the House of Lords. If David Cameron's MPs had not helped to push this Bill through last week there would be no need for him to now be promising to try and stop it.

Liberal Democrat Shadow Leader of the House, David Heath MP said "Perhaps David Cameron should be doing fewer staged photo-calls and paying more attention to what his party is actually doing. It is typical of David Cameron to wait and see what the newspaper editorials say before he makes up his mind on an issue."
