Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Freedom of Information Act 2000
Were there to be an inquiry—I have already referred to the comments made in the House by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister—it is almost certain that such an inquiry would indeed have access to all relevant documents, including Cabinet minutes, just as the Butler inquiry did, but that is a very different matter from whether those documents should be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act—very different indeed.
