Parliament: Reporting of Proceedings
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to preserve the right of newspapers to report proceedings in Parliament.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the ability to report proceedings in Parliament remains unaffected by recent events. As my right honourable friend the Prime Minister said yesterday in another place: ""The Justice Secretary has talked to the parties concerned and is looking into this issue"." He went on to say that he hoped that, ""progress can be made … to clear up what is an unfortunate area of the law".—[Official Report, Commons, 14/10/09; col. 294.]"
