Select Committee on Enterprise and Economic Strategy

SECTION 25.

Will this be a subsection in the Ethics in Public Office Bill, 1994 or how will this be catered for?

Does this section deal with commercial confidentiality? What disclosure does the Minister have in mind — people's personal lives, some food product formula or general commercial confidentiality? What are they not to disclose?

Comment on this

It is commercial confidentiality we are talking about. No peeping in bedroom windows is to be attempted.

Comment on this

Does the Minister reckon that he needs to provide in the Bill for that? He must have considered interesting people for the board. Is it commercial confidentiality that is involved?

Comment on this

Yes.

Comment on this

Is there not an amendment proposed to section 26?
