Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill

My esteemed neighbour, the right hon. Member for Penrith and The Border (David Maclean), commented in the—hand-picked—Committee scrutinising his Bill:"““Clearly if one writes to a public authority and gives the personal details of a constituent, such as their CSA claim, information relating to their children and so on, that information should be protected. It should quite clearly be protected under the current Act. However, inadvertently, someone may release it.””––[Official Report, Freedom of Information (Amendment) Public Bill Committee, 7 February 2007; c. 8.]" In other words, it is not new legislation that is needed but proper interpretation of the current Act.
