Rishi Sunak’s government placed a record number of blocks on freedom of information requests in its first three months, leading to accusations of a “culture of concealment”.
New figures show that the government gave out information in full in only 33.6% of cases in which it held the data during the first three months of Sunak’s administration. Just 3,895 of 11,597 “resolvable requests” were granted in full.
