Freedom Of Information

EDM number 296 in 2001-02, proposed by Mark Fisher on 23/10/2001.

That this House notes with concern that no timetable has been announced for bringing the Freedom of Information Act 2000 into force following its enactment in November 2000; recalls that Parliament was told that the Act would begin to come into force 18 months after Royal Assent; endorses the Prime Minister's statement that this legislation will deliver 'not just more open but more effective and efficient government'; and calls on the Government to confirm that it will bring the right of access into force for central government before the end of 2002.

This motion has been signed by a total of 177 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
