As for the FIA I wasn't aware that peoples personal finances could be revealed under this act, ie financial details of people held by HBC, which I'm sure is protected under data protection act and not for open consumption

The issue in question also concerned legal advice so part of the document came in pink. The Head of Legal Services knows what she is doing and I am more mindful of her sage advice than political bitching from the opposition.
There is always a very good reason for anything being on pink paper but it doesn't happen very often.
