+
+<dd>To help you find out inside information about what the UK government
+is doing.</dd> 
+
+<dt>How does the site work?</dt>
+
+<dd>You choose the public body that you would like information from, then
+write a brief note describing what you want to know. We then send your request
+to the public body. Any response they make is automatically published on the
+website for you and anyone else to find and read.
+</dd>
+
+<dt>Why would I bother to do this?</dt> 
+
+<dd>You pay taxes, and then Government does things with the money. Some it does
+badly, some it does well. The more we find out about how Government works, the
+better able we are to make suggestions to improve the things that are done badly,
+and to celebrate the things which are done well. This affects a whole range
+of issues important to your life, from healthcare through to national defense.

+<dd>By law public bodies must respond within 20 days, excluding weekends and
+any UK bank holidays. The date that the response is due by is shown on the
+page for your request. If you have agreed to pay a fee, or if you had to give
+follow up information to clarify your request, the legal date will be slightl
