.@StAlbansCouncil apparently spent£250,000 replying to #FOI requests, of which 13% came from the Metropolitan Police! http://www.heart.co.uk/watfordhemel/news/local/250k-spent-by-st-albans-council-on-fois/ …
@bainesy1969 No, nor were we. Do you think they've counted s35 DPA requests as #FOI requests?

@CampaignFoI Exactly what I was thinking. Which makes me think they've counted *all* BAU requests to get their disproportionately high total -
@bainesy1969@CampaignFoI council overlook the possibility that an FOI response might lead to a better value bid from a new supplier -
@_MrMustard@CampaignFoI Quite. At least St.A. say they don't have a problem with media using FOI. Some public authorities seem to. -
@bainesy1969@CampaignFoI but aren't media also businesses whose business is information so the same argument about commercial gain arises? -
@_MrMustard@CampaignFoI Yes, to an extent, but the media are more than that (or should be!) -
@bainesy1969@CampaignFoI St Albans needs some more bloggers though, they don't rate a mention
