I move amendment No. 1:


In page 10, line 2, to delete “12 months” and substitute “9 months”.
The Bill, as drafted, envisages for bodies within the remit of FOI legislation a lead-in period of 12 months in coming into line with the legislation. A period of nine months should be sufficient for such bodies to be in compliance with it.
