The Troubles Bill has been drafted to give the government the maximum control possible over disclosure. In terms of who makes the disclosure decision, the government has reserved that power to itself and placed the burden on individuals to challenge its decisions. Although the government argues this reflects the model of public inquiries, they have not articulated why that model is preferrable over the models for Public Interest Immunity or Closed Material Procedures. In circumstances when the Judicial Panel Members will have held high judicial office, and when the disclosure powers under the Inquiries Act 2005 have been rarely used in comparison to the tried and tested powers of Public Interest Immunity and Closed Material Procedures, this lack of justification for giving itself the maximum control over disclosure is unsatisfactory. The lack of public reasoning leaves unwelcome room for mistrust in the government’s motives to proliferate. (Conclusion, Paragraph 38)
