Secret meeting of the London Assembly to hear from London Resilience and other key partners how London would be handled in the event of catastrophic terrorist attack.

As it was under the confidential restrictions of the Government Information whatsit – I cannot divulge what was said. Only to say, I don’t think there was anything in the briefing that couldn’t have been stated at a public meeting. I don’t like confidential meetings – in fact that is the first one I think I have been to. If there is important information present you can’t out it in the public interest – and if there isn’t, what was the point of it being held in private?

My own thrust, for what it is worth, is an interest in public information – of which there seems little available. I am reassured that everything is in hand!
