Proceeding contribution from Mark Fisher (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 18 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill.


Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill

I have always liked the right hon. Gentleman, but I have never seen him as a comedian. The idea that one hour’s debate can seriously address the 15 years’ consideration that this country has given on this legislation is laughable. If he thinks that a few minutes in Committee represents serious amendment and debate that can undermine everything that people who care about this legislation have been working towards for 15 or 20 years, he is a comedian.
