Proceeding contribution from Baroness Thornton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 January 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

This is really very important. Is the Minister saying, suggesting or even inferring that the use of freedom of information by Members of Parliament—and I have put the odd one in myself, and been a victim of it, from time to time—is not appropriate during the passage of any legislation, because a Member of Parliament may want that information to assist them in their deliberations or their input into that scrutiny?
