Freedom of Information - No Lord (as yet) wants to touch it
I was delighted to learn yesterday that whilst we were outvoted in the Commons when some MPs??drove through an?? attempt to exempt MPs from FOI legislation, we seem to have won in the Lords.
??If no peer picks up this private members bill from the Commons it will perish. That would be the best outcome. I was one of those who lobbied David Cameron to come out against it. He did so. Gordon Brown followed soon aferwards. Let’s hope the Bill is dead.
John Redwood has been the Member of Parliament for Wokingham since 1987. First attending Kent College, Canterbury, he graduated from Magdalen College...
If it’s not dead John then we are all doomed! What was the real reason this piece of nonsense was even raised? We should be told
