Proceeding contribution from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 May 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Parliamentary Standards Authority.

Parliamentary Standards Authority

I welcome my right hon. and learned Friend's statement. She was right to remind all of us that we have a joint responsibility to restore public confidence in this House, and indeed in politics. Does she agree that in a free and democratic country with a free press, the press also have a responsibility to scrutinise and report accurately what happens in this House, and that those in the press and media who seek to abuse the facilities to indulge in personal and at times racist attacks are acting irresponsibly and not playing their part in restoring confidence in the political system?
