Quite Nigel .......... and the people who NEED to know do not have that information, it has been withheld from them for weeks and in some cases months.

Oversimplification.
A wish to have the details is not quite the same as a 'need-to-know'.
Those asking for the details do not (quite clearly) have the details in front of them, and so cannot know whether the details will help them / their party / their business.
Those who have the information have 'classified' it, and once classified (available at numerous levels)they are not permitted to disclose it without good reason.
People discussing this on this thread (myself included) have even less knowledge of exactly what need-to-know the various person requesting access have.

As such, it comes down to a matter of trust.
Do you trust the government to release such details as they can, if it will not hamper the current negotiations?
If they are forced to release more than they would like, do you trust that those who receive it will not disseminate it further than they should?
