Creampuff, by now I expect no-one apart from you and me is reading this thread, but please drop me an e-mail on
[email protected] if you are a practising lawyer. You have a fine eye for a loophole and I may need that skill if this Bill goes through without amendment.
But tell me this. If my secretary is free to copy a draft report because she is not the recipient under 26(1) or 26(4), why is she not also free to disclose the draft report? If she is, does not 26(2)(b) then need amendment?
Doesn't all this point to the fact that there should be public consultation on this Bill so that those who will be affected by it have the opportunity to understand what is proposed and why?
