FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LEGISLATION AND ROYAL HOUSEHOLD

Early day motion 83, tabled 18 November 2009 by Lynne Jones (Labour). Signed by 83 members.

That this House disagrees with the proposed removal of the public interest test for access through the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to information held by public authorities relating to the Royal Household's function and activities, and with the blanket ban on accessing Royal documents that would result; and instead supports the removal of the exemption of the Royal Household from the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
