Freedom Of Information (EDM845)

Freedom Of Information

EDM number 845 in 2006-07, proposed by Tony Wright on 06/02/2007.

That this House expresses concern that the proposed new fees regulations under the Freedom of Information Act would allow authorities to refuse on cost grounds a high proportion of requests which they are currently required to answer; notes that the Government's consultation document recognises that this will have a greater impact on journalists, hon. Members, campaign groups and researchers than on private individuals; considers that such changes would undermine the Act's contribution to increased discussion of public affairs, accountability and trust in the work of public authorities; and calls on the Government not to proceed with the proposals.

This motion has been signed by a total of 139 MPs.
