Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stowell of Beeston (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

On the former of his questions, I am not able to give the noble Lord a reply today, but I will follow it up with him in due course. On the latter, I am not proposing any new legislation; I am referring to Section 5 of the FOI Act, in that it gives us the opportunity and the provision, should we need it, to extend the Act to cover new bodies in the way that we are using it right now. I hope that that answers the noble Lord’s question and that he will feel able to withdraw his amendment.
