Info bill report rejects IFP changes

The ad hoc committee on the Protection of State Information Bill has formally adopted a report rejecting all 123 amendments proposed by the Inkatha Freedom Party.

The one-line report - simply stating that all MPs save the IFP's Mario Oriani-Ambrosini voted against the changes - will be tabled in the National Assembly next week.

This paves the way for a vote on the bill, with the ANC majority expected to pass the contentious measure comfortably.
