Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
10:30 am
Derek McDowell (Labour)
The section I propose to delete allows someone to decide neither to confirm nor deny that there is a particular record. That provision is already contained in the existing Act but this section would extend the areas where the refusal to confirm or deny that there is a record would apply, to the three new areas of commercially sensitive information, personal information and matters dealing with legal affairs.
