I have been presented with a Bill which an increasing section of public opinion – the voluntary organisations, the media, the organisations which represent journalists, the Opposition parties – agrees is not merely a minor change. To quote something I said in the House on 5 February, it is a subversion of the freedom of information legislation. When I asked the Leader on 5 February whether the Government proposed to subvert the Freedom of Information Act she gave a rare and categorical "No", from which I can only conclude that she either has no influence or no shame. One way or another, this House was conned about the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003.
