Proceeding contribution from Lord Martin of Springburn (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.

Health and Social Care Bill

Not on a Bill. The noble Lord, Lord Owen, says it is not about the Bill; he says we should wait for the Bill until we get an appeal decision. If people are opposing an Information Commissioner's decision, it still has consequences for legislation whether it applies to a Bill or not. Let us not kid ourselves. It may not apply to a Bill but on other pieces of business, the Minister concerned is going to say, ““Give me that information orally—I do not want anything at all in writing””. Information Commissioners have gone on record to say that if information is in data they want to release it.
