Proceeding contribution from Baroness Amos (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on Parliament and the Legislative Process.

Parliament and the Legislative Process

My Lords, the Government make most of their policy announcements inside Parliament. Many of my colleagues around the Cabinet table are scrupulous about doing that. However, we must recognise the reality of the world that we live in, with 24-hour media that are hungry for information. Sometimes I observe with absolute horror the degree of misinformation on policy, not only in our written media but also in our broadcast media, before announcements are made in Parliament.
