Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
I spoke about consultation. The Information Commissioner is the one charged with responsibility for the Freedom of Information Act. It beggars belief that the Government did not consult him before publishing the Bill. Likewise, it is ridiculous that there was no consultation with the NUJ when journalists make up the single biggest FOI user group.
