Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

Section 12 of the Bill, which seeks to revoke the five year provision and replace it with a ten year restriction, will be opposed tooth and nail by this side of the House. On Committee Stage we will bring forward a series of amendment to ensure this component of the Bill is retained in the legislation. We will argue the case for doing so comprehensively, cogently and convincingly. There is no excuse for extending the period from five to ten years.
