Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Friday, 20 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill.


Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill

I do not know whether my hon. Friend was going on to the point that it appears that the proposal is not widely supported in government and that, judging by leaked correspondence, our amendments appear to have support from the Lord Chancellor and other Ministers. If members of the Government want the Bill to be amended as we suggest, surely that is another very strong argument against its making progress in its present form?
