  Freedom of Information Bill - Ministerial orders for exemption
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The Majority prevented the deletion of lines 12 and 13 in page 4 of the Freedom of Information Bill.[1]  This appears to be a measure which allowed a Minister to exempt information by Order which would otherwise have to be disclosed by the Act.[2]</p>
