Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Family Justice.
Family Justice
Of course, I do not dismiss children's concerns, but ultimately we have to make a choice. I believe—and experience has shown this—that the media will act responsibility. As the right hon. and learned Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham (Mr. Hogg) said from a sedentary position, in practice, there has not been a problem with the observance of reporting restrictions in the youth courts or elsewhere. Whatever else people may say about the British media, they are respectful of these restrictions, and the penalties on editors and journalists if they break the restrictions are very severe.
