This amendment seeks to reduce the ten year limit to six years. It is a reasonable amendment which is consistent with the Private Members' Bill the Labour Party has published. It would give the Government one year to consult, not only on this rule, but also on what it perceives to be a need to review the legislation. This would be reasonable considering the report of the Information Commissioner, the work of the Joint committee on Finance and the Public Service which is to commence tomorrow, and the strong interest of the public in the matter as indicated by the letters pages in the national press. Having discussed this in a public way the Government could then attempt to achieve an agreed position about extending the rule to seven or more years. While there may be circumstances in which this might be necessary, it should include wide consultation and, if possible, consensus. It is not possible to reach consensus when legislation is being rushed through in this manner.
