General Scheme of Public Sector Standards Bill 2015: Pre-legislative Scrutiny
2:00 pm
Mr. William Beausang:
In contrast to the freedom of information regime, where the legislative model allows bodies be excluded, the general scheme as currently drafted has no exclusions. It would look a bit odd to be excluding any public body from ethical requirements whereas one can justify, as the Minister has, excluding certain public bodies from the freedom of information regime.
