Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

Unfortunately we did not manage to complete our scrutiny, because of the timetabling of the Bill. One issue that was brought to my attention by Universities UK was the potential for application of the Freedom of Information Act to impede international collaboration in research. That was dealt with in the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, and I tried to insert a parallel provision in this Bill. Will the right hon. Lady instruct the appropriate Minister to meet representatives of Universities UK to discuss the issue as a matter of urgency?
