Exclusive: Labour says record number of disclosures before Easter recess is effort to evade accountability
Labour has accused ministers of being “desperate to avoid scrutiny” after government departments published a record number of “transparency disclosures” over a 48-hour period before parliament rose for the Easter break.
Rayner added: “We have already seen many of the facts which the government tried to bury in the last 48 hours exposed … and there will doubtless be more to come over the days ahead. “Otherwise, he would not be instructing his ministers to rush out the evidence of their multiple failures and colossal waste at the start of the Easter break in the hope that no one will notice.”
Another document showed that the sovereign grant for King Charles, which pays for the monarch’s official duties, had been frozen at £86m for the third year in a row.
