I would say that doesn't matter. If it's different service, don't you think that violates the spirit of the act, that all applicants shall be treated equally? We all have an equal right to freedom of information no matter what the source of the request is, whether we are journalists, MPs, or private citizens. If somebody is ranking them and treating one more quickly or more slowly based on its source, that in itself should be a concern for the committee. I think we can agree with some certainty that it is going on. The amber lighting is a fact. It is still to be determined that the revealing of the applicant's name is a widespread and common practice.
