The Campaign for Freedom of Information is a lobbying group based in the United Kingdom that campaigns for Freedom of information in the United Kingdom and against unnecessary secrecy by the UK Government.[1]
It is not affiliated with any political party.[1]
Its director is Maurice Frankel.[2]
[edit] In fiction
The character Sir Arnold Robinson from the hit series Yes Minister accepts the chairmanship of the campaign for freedom of information and in Yes, Prime Minister is regularly seen in this role, more often than not using it to aid Sir Humphrey in leaking material that will damage the government (once he has the assurance that the leaked information is inaccurate).
