Ming Campbell has written an article about Tory MP David Maclean’s Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill:
This was a self-inflicted blow by Parliament which will deeply damage its reputation.
The Bill was voted through by an unholy alliance of Conservative and Labour MPs.
It was also given unofficial support from the Government which, unusually, did not block it at Second Reading and instead appeared content to have its own Freedom of Information Act watered down.
