Freedom of Information Bill — Committee of the whole House — 7 Dec 1999

The Majority voted to commit the scrutiny of the Freedom of Information Bill to a Standing Committee, rather than have it be discussed in a Committee of the Whole House, which is often reserved for very important or fast-tracked legislation.
