Written question asked by Andrew Turner (Conservative) on Monday, 21 November 2005, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It was answered by Jack Straw (Labour) on Monday, 28 November 2005 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Sir Christopher Meyer
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether his call for Sir Christopher Meyer to resign as head of the Press Complaints Commission (a) was made in his ministerial capacity and (b) represents Government policy.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 24 November 2005]: I set out the Government's position on the book in the answer I gave my hon. Friend the Member for Pendle (Mr. Prentice) today (UIN 26840). My view is that the publication of Sir Christopher Meyer's memoirs also raises questions about his role as Chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, as I said in the course of the Today programme on Radio 4 on 11 November.
