SIR - It's hard to imagine our MPs could sink any lower, but on May 18 it happened, MPs in the House of Commons voted themselves an exemption from the Freedom of Information Act.
They obviously think their transparency is damaging their image - they just might be right as my MP claimed £131,754 in expenses last year, I'm not surprised they want to keep this out of the public domain!
Our district MPs, even our two good ones, didn't actually bother to vote, so we should take it that they were all happy with the proposal.
How disgusting that our MPs have voted themselves exemption while at the same time they are proposing that every conceivable piece of information on every citizen should be recorded on the National Identity Register.
