Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
If this amendment were to be implemented the Land Registry would require an exemption for the registers maintained under the Registration of Title Act 1964, thereby ensuring requests for amendment of the register be dealt with under the Registration of Title Act as heretofore rather than the FOI Act. In summary, this amendment would complicate the principle whereby requests for records and amendments of records are dealt with under FOI where appropriate or under legislation or mechanisms and extend the Act into areas where it was not intended.
