Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
10:30 am
Derek McDowell (Labour)
This seeks to delete section 3 of the Bill, which relates to the head of a particular Department delegating to an official lower down in the hierarchy of the Civil Service the power to make a decision. My understanding is that, in most Departments, this is delegated to principal officers in charge of particular sections.
