Proceeding contribution from Lord Clark of Windermere (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Public Bodies Bill [HL].
Public Bodies Bill [HL]
My Lords, perhaps I can give an example of the Information Commissioner listed in Schedule 7. One of his specific tasks is to adjudicate on the actions of government in withholding or providing information. Therefore, he is independent. Is the Minister saying that if a Member of this House made an inquiry of the Office of the Information Commissioner or any other public body it would not be right for the Information Commissioner or the other body not to provide the factual information to Members of this House?
