Take action to protect Freedom of Information Act
unnecessary | 19.04.2007 11:42 | Repression
David Mclean, MP for Penrith, is trying to hide the democratic process by putting forward a private members bill that will remove Parliament from being subject to the Freedom of Information Act (see release from CFOI below). Please contact Mclean and your MP, asking them to work towards making Parliament open and democratic, and not to hide its workings from the people
The Rt Hon David Maclean MP

Dear Friend,
The Campaign has circulated a briefing to MPs on the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill, which has its report stage on Friday 20 April. This Private Members Bill, introduced by David Maclean MP, would (a) remove Parliament from the scope of the Freedom of Information Act, and (b) create a new exemption under the Act for all communications between MPs and public authorities. The Campaign believes neither of these changes are justified.
The briefing can be downloaded from http://www.cfoi.org.uk/.
Best wishes,
Katherine Gundersen
Research Officer
