‘Humphrey read my thoughts. ‘We must tell them, by the way. We have no alternative. The Prime Minister’s salary and expenses have to be published.’
‘Isn’t there a way we can … not refer to it?’ I asked hopefully.
‘Open Government, Prime Minister. Freedom of Information. We should always tell the press, freely and frankly, anything that they can easily find out some other way.’
I simply do not believe that there is no way to solve this problem.’
