Proceeding contribution from Lord Blencathra (Conservative) 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 posed the question because the answer is none. Not one minute in Standing Committee, not one minute on Report and not one minute on Second Reading was devoted to including the House of Commons in that Bill. The provision was added without any debate, so it did not receive 15 years’ consideration. The Freedom of Information Act generally did, but including the House of Commons in it received no consideration—it was added by mistake.
