Proceeding contribution from Lord McNally (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 October 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Freedom of Information (Designation as Public Authorities) Order 2011.
Freedom of Information (Designation as Public Authorities) Order 2011
I do apologise. The noble Lord, Lord Bach, raised that and I found the answer, which is twofold. Of the three, it was UCAS which raised some concerns when discussions began. Its concerns were the costs it would face in complying with the FOI Act, how it would protect sensitive information, and other costs outlined in the impact assessment. During consultation it was satisfied that the FOI Act exemptions could protect this information, and since those consultations it has been happy to see itself included within the ambit of the Act. I apologise that I got carried away with the questions asked by the noble Lord, Lord Martin. Does he have another?
