In his role as Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs, Falconer sought to make it easier for government bodies to refuse to release documents under the Freedom of Information Act (2000), on the grounds that they are too expensive and too time-consuming for civil servants to find. The legislation allowed requests for information to be refused if the cost they would incur exceeded £600 for Whitehall and £450 for other public bodies. Falconer proposed changes that would make no difference to this level, but would expand the number of activities whose cost would be included in the totals, thus making it easier for government parties to refuse requests for information. At the end of March 2007, Falconer’s department announced that it would not introduce the proposals to parliament, but would instead have a second three- month consultation with the public (the previous consultation, also of three months, ended three weeks previous to this). Media elements reported this change as a ‘backtracking’, and Maurice Frankel, director of the Campaign for Freedom of Information, was quoted as saying “This raises the strong possibility that the government will decide to leave the current arrangements untouched”.
