Will the hon. Gentleman confirm that my right hon. Friend’s Bill would never allow the House to withhold information such as the personal expenses of MPs? The real argument is about the Government’s and my right hon. Friend’s proposal to exempt our correspondence to public bodies about public policy matters, whereas the amendment tabled by my hon. Friend the Member for Aldridge-Brownhills (Mr. Shepherd), amendment No. 40, is more strictly controlled so that it protects what we all want to protect, which is correspondence on behalf of individual constituents?
