John Bercow (Buckingham, Conservative)

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his point of order. The short answer is that it can be done informally. There is no formal mechanism by which to invite the Information Commissioner—or any other potential witness—to submit written evidence where that evidence is not already extant. In other words, formally to request new material in written form is not in the Committee’s power. However, I have heard the hon. Gentleman’s point of order and will ensure that it is relayed to the Information Commissioner. I now call Mr. Tony McNulty to move the motion.
