Freedom of Information and Royal Household

The following Early Day Motion was tabled on 18 November 2009 by Lynne Jones MP:

83 FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LEGISLATION AND ROYAL HOUSEHOLD 18:11:09

Lynne Jones
Norman Baker
Mr Ian Davidson
Mr Gordon Prentice
Dr Doug Naysmith

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.
