Freedom Of Information (Parliament) Order 2009 (EDM492)

Freedom Of Information (Parliament) Order 2009

EDM number 492 in 2008-09, proposed by Jo Swinson on 19/01/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Freedom of information and Members of Parliament.

That this House notes with concern the provisions in the Freedom of Information (Parliament) Order 2009 to remove the expenses of hon. Members and Peers from the scope of the Freedom of Information Act; notes that this Order singles out hon. Members and Peers in a special category as the only public officials who will not have to disclose full details of their expenses; further notes the High Court judgement of 16th May 2008 and subsequent reassurances to hon. Members that expenses would be published in full by autumn 2008; further notes with concern the regressive effect of this Order on parliamentary transparency and the detrimental impact it will have on Parliament in the eyes of the public; and calls on Ministers to block or repeal the Order in the interest of hon. Members' and Peers' accountability to members of the public.

This motion has been signed by a total of 91 MPs.
