In its promotion of the legislation, the Government is trampling on people's right to information. It is attempting to row back rights already established under the 1997 Act, which could give rise to constitutional issues. It is a blunt denial of people's entitlement to get at the truth. The Bill is littered with the fingerprints of collective Civil Service paranoia and reflects the Civil Service mentality which never liked its actions or modus operandi being publicly questioned.
