Access to Government Information

HC Deb 15 June 1999 vol 333 c105W

Mr. Chope

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends to publish the 1998 report on the operation of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information. [87105]

Mr. Straw

I hope to be in a position to publish the 1998 Monitoring Report, on the operation of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information, shortly. Publication of the Monitoring Report has been delayed due to work on the draft Freedom of Information Bill.
