Proceeding contribution from Lord Rodgers of Quarry Bank (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 24 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Freedom of Information Act 2000
My Lords, on page 3 of the Statement there are references to the role of the Cabinet Office. It says: "““The Cabinet Office refused the request””," then, "““the Cabinet Office had considered””," and: "““The Cabinet Office appealed””." The Cabinet Office is an institution. Who made the decision? The Cabinet Office has no collective voice. It is responsible, if anything, to the Prime Minister of the day. If the Cabinet Office is responsible to a Minister, or collectively to the Cabinet, has its identity independence?
