No. I indicated when I discussed it that it is absolutely my intention that the regulator would be subject to FOI but that is in the FOI Bill. We will not do this on a case-by-case basis. It will be an overarching Bill and the only organisations mentioned will be the exclusions. I want to do it that way. This amendment is not necessary. The regulator will be subject to FOI as will virtually everybody else, in accordance with the overarching FOI amendment legislation that I am bringing forward.
