Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill

That is absolutely right. In referring to the right hon. Gentleman and his contributions, I keep hoping that he will intervene to say, ““Here is a cast iron case. Will you deal with that?? I invite him to do so. It is a most curious Bill and debate. Arguments are advanced in these amendments and in the previous group of amendments. We do not hear much against them, but there is a vote, with 46 MPs coming from nowhere to decide that the law should be changed. However, that is one of the curiosities of the House of Commons. That is open debate—so far as we have it. The votes are recorded. It shows the value of accountability and openness that we know the result. Accountability and openness are certainly worth preserving in terms of how we operate in the House and how we deal with public authorities.
