Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on European Union Bill.


European Union Bill

This reminds me of when, late in the progress of the Freedom of Information Bill, a clause was suddenly introduced that stated that there could be freedom of information unless a Minister said no. It was to be left to the discretion of a Minister whether something could be covered by freedom of information legislation.
