Committee debates disclosure of welfare scandal documents
MPs from the Socialist Left Party, Red Party, and Progress Party have tabled proposals requiring the government to submit an unredacted 2014 interdepartmental report on welfare benefit exports to both the EEA Appeals Board and the Storting by May 1, 2026, and to ensure the welfare scandal appeals board continues operating after June 2026. The Labour Party and Conservative Party oppose the measures, arguing that internal government documents should not be shared between administrations, while Progress Party, Socialist Left Party, and Red Party members contend that the gravity of the welfare scandal demands full transparency.
