Please don't vex the verderers

More on the DCA's FOI .

One side-effect of FOI is how it brings to notice some of the more obscure further reaches of the British state. Bodies brought within FOI in 2005 include the Independent Groundwater Complaints Administrator, the Poisons Board (Northern Ireland), and the verderers of the New Forest. So for everything you wanted to know about verderers, but were afraid to ask, now's the time.

Another interesting detail is the Ministry of Defence is much more likely to dismiss requests for information as 'vexatious' than any other government department. But what we don't know is whether vexatious people are particularly keen to pick on the MoD, or whether it is just more easily vexed.
