PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (22 October 2001)
Motion Details
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.
