I have already outlined the reasons I will be opposing this as I am deeply concerned. It is not that anything should be kept from the public, where it is in the public interest, but it has to be absolutely balanced with the impact that publication has on a person's life. One must consider, with the best will in the fastest process in the world, that these things still take a long time. By the time it comes to publication, one is dealing with issues that have happened previously. We need to insert the maximum compassion and balance that with the public interest.
