I don't, and I said so much in my opening remarks. It's quite the reverse: I think you should take a bow. It was a major step forward. It signalled a very important step in the evolution of the act itself, no question. I'm the first one to applaud it.
I said--and I repeat--I think we've been let down, because the successes and the applause that you should receive from it have been muted because the government has not been responding to your clear signal: not only do we want the act to be applied, but we want it to be extended. What have they done under your government? If I can be so bold as to say it, the act has not met such a fate that it is now.... I said it, and I'll repeat it: it's dead in the water. That's no fault of yours. You've done what was required of you. Institutions should have followed suit and said, “We're going to make you look good.” That's not what they've done.
The Information Commissioner has also accumulated a large backlog, and I see no end in sight. The act as it is today--not because of its coverage, which has been good and has been made better because of its application--is in a state of paralysis.
