There is much ambiguity in this. However, the kernel of the issue in sections 2 and 5 is whether it is the newspaper that wants to withdraw the request or the person who originally sought the information. A newspaper cannot seek the information because somebody's name has to be put down on its behalf. I presume that when one puts in a freedom of information request, somebody's name is attached to it in the first instance. Who would own the information afterwards? The Minister of State is saying only the person whose name is on the request has leave to withdraw it. I am more confused now than I was when we were dealing with section 2. I do not know who owns the information.
