Business of the House

Mrs Dalia Nield, an experienced and respected surgeon, has apparently been threatened by Rodial Ltd with a libel suit because she told a daily newspaper that Rodial's £125 ““boob job in a bottle”” cream was ““highly unlikely”” to work, ““potentially dangerous”” and might even harm the skin and the breast. Will the Leader of the House commit to libel reform in this Session? The problems of libel threats against scientists and doctors, such as Mrs Nield, Simon Singh and Dr Peter Wilmshurst, have the effect of suppressing the advice of experts and doctors.
