Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 15 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.


Protection of Freedoms Bill

I quite agree that this is something we need to watch. We have similar problems in the health Bill where, for reasons I entirely approve of, activities that used to be done by state bodies may in future be done by private ones. We need to make sure that that does not mess up our objectives on freedom of information, which are, I believe, and certainly should be, towards greater access to information rather than less.
