The Government believes that we need to throw open the doors of public bodies, to enable the public to hold politicians and public bodies to account.

This will help to deliver better value for money in public spending, and help us achieve our aim of cutting the deficit.

Follow us on twitter to stay informed on what we're doing. In addition to news and blogs, we tweet links to DCMS Parliamentary activity including written answers and relevant select committee sessions.
