Independent Monitoring Commission Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

On Article 13, we are dependent on absolute adherence to the requirements that people will not disclose information they receive in the course of the performance of their duties. The text even refers to agents. Apart from the members of the commission, staff and agents will also be engaged, whose identity we do not know at this stage. Given the eagerness and ability of some of the paramilitaries to obtain information – we have had experience of this – this area will need to be closely monitored.
