Steve Wood, who runs the excellent UK Freedom of Information Act Blog, is trying to organise support for the cross-party Early Day Motion against the Government plans to introduce fees for FoI requests.

Wood is encouraging bloggers to use MySociety’s tool WriteToThem.com to encourage their MPs to support EDM 2699.

A similar motion in 2004, Wood notes, appeared to have an important role in beating back the even harsher fees regime proposed in 2004.
