Cabinet Office ordered to disclose papers.(Brief article)
Cabinet Office ordered to disclose papers
Peter Williams
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has clashed with the government over the release of confidential papers. The ICO has told the Cabinet Office to release papers prepared for a ministerial working group meeting in October 2005 which took the decision to continue the worker registration scheme for the EU accession states.
Last month, the ICO ruled that releasing the information would improve public understanding of the controversial decision.
The Cabinet papers laid out for ministers the choice of continuing with the worker registration scheme for a further three years from April 2006 or to close it down and give migrants from Eastern Europe the same employment and social rights as those from the rest of the EU. The government subsequently chose the first option.
Assistant information commissioner Steve Wood said the reasons behind the government's decision were not widely known or fully understood.
