Closed Overturn the veto on the release of Prince Charles letters

Closed on

Dominic Grieve MP, has vetoed the release of letters from Prince Charles to various government ministers.

The Guardian newspaper requested the letters under freedom of information laws.The information tribunal ruled that the correspondence must be released, but the government used their veto to prevent the letters being made public.

It is only the fifth time the veto has been used in 10 years..

On any occasion that I have written to a Government Minister there has been nothing contained in the correspondence that I would not be prepared to share with any other parties.

I hope Prince Charles feels the same as I do and orders the release of the letters to a wider audience.

If not then we have the option of supporting this petition to improve our chances of being made privy to His Royal Highness's thoughts and concerns regarding our Government.
