Text
I mentioned the Inquiries Act 2005 because there are procedures and standards about the handling of information. That is right on one hand, but the issue is where someone else makes a decision that is not article 2- or article 8-compliant. It is not about someone messing about with information; it is about making sure that there is as much disclosure as possible, if not full disclosure, of those documents to people. The inquiry may get information that those people could not get otherwise. I hope that that clarifies it.
