If one reads the Bill again, it is not purely matters of a technical nature. The reference is specifically to relevant matters being those related to the initiation, development or modification of a public policy or programme, preparation of an enactment, the award of a grant, loan or financial support, contract or other agreement or of any licence, apart from matters relating only to the implementation of such policy, programme, enactment or award or of a technical nature. The measure does not relate solely to the exclusion of voluminous technical information. It essentially excludes that phase of implementation of a policy, programme, enactment or award.
