"We thought we had agreement on the FOI Act as part of this wider package," he told MPs. "Recently that support that we believed we had from the main opposition party was withdrawn. So on this particular matter, I believe all-party support is important and we will continue to consult on that matter."</i> As if "Tories collude" = "all-party support". From the Beeb:
