80: Clause 6, page 4, line 32, at end insert—
“(5) The TRA may publish in such a manner as it thinks fit—
(a) any advice given under this section, and
(b) any other information in its possession, from any source.
(6) Before deciding to publish any information under subsection (5), the TRA must consider whether the public interest is outweighed by any consideration of confidentiality.”
Member’s explanatory statement
The purpose of this amendment is to give the TRA the same powers as the Food Standards Agency to reinforce its operational independence.
