London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Bill

My Lords, I add my thanks to my noble friend the Minister, particularly for what he has said in relation to the amendments this evening. When I spoke in favour of such amendments on Report, I spoke fervently—possibly aggressively—in favour of freedom of the press and may, thereby, have implied that the Minister was in some way less in favour of freedom of the press than myself. I know that is not the case and that he has been a fine example of the Government being a listening government. I am most grateful for his amendments this evening.
