Dear Dr. Clarke,

I am writing to acknowledge your letter of 16^th December, also to thank you for sending me the White Paper on Freedom of Information and your consultation paper on QUANGOS. I was indeed reassured by the scope and thrust of your White Paper proposals. For 25 years I have been waiting and pressing for reform in this area, and was delighted you should now be planning such an important initiative.

I do nevertheless think there are some very sticky bits, especially in relation to the proposals relating to commercial confidentiality. I shall therefore be preparing a short formal response to your consultation. In the meantime, I would want to be counted with the many others who have offered congratulations, and wish you every success in turning these proposals into law.

Yours sincerely,

Charles Medawar
