Clause 1— Exemption of House of Commons and House of Lords
I beg to move amendment No. 2, page 1, line 5, leave out subsection (3).
With this it will be convenient to discuss the following amendments: No. 14, leave out lines 7 to 12 and insert—
'(1) For the purposes of section 41(1), information which—
(a) is held only by virtue of being contained in a communication between a member of the House of Commons, acting in his capacity as such, and a public authority, and
(b) consists of information relating to the personal affairs of a constituent of that member
shall, unless the contrary is indicated, be deemed to have been communicated in circumstances importing an obligation of confidence.'.
