Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
The problems which have arisen regarding the legislation do not justify the provisions of the Bill. Such unilateral changes, without taking account of the views of all sides and all parties, are not acceptable. If there are problems with the legislation, they should be dealt with in the way proposed by the Labour Party. There should be a comprehensive review involving the Information Commissioner, the broader public and interested bodies.
