Whitehall 'shredding more files'

Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 08:54 AM by emad

BBC

Civil servants have drastically stepped up the shredding of official documents, figures compiled by the Tories suggest.

Some government departments had doubled the number of documents being shredded ahead of the Freedom of Information Act's implementation on 1 January.

Departments for defence, environment and trade, which had all increased file destruction, said they were following rules governing public records.

But the Tories want the information commissioner to investigate.
