Proceeding contribution from Vera Baird (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.


Human Rights

I am slightly puzzled about what the hon. Gentleman means. If I buy my newspaper from WH Smith with my social security benefits, which would have a public source, does that mean that WH Smith becomes a public authority? How far back do we take the financing in order for a body to qualify as a public authority? That is the difficulty. I have given a frivolous example to make the point.
