Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
I have no idea why the Bill seeks to extend the circumstances in which one can be refused information or why there is no obligation to explain the reason for such refusal or to tell one whether information relating to the category in which one is interested exists. The categories to which it is being extended relate to commercially sensitive information, information given in confidence to a Department of State or to a body that is covered by the Act and personal information.
