Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 21 July 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.
Coroners and Justice Bill
On behalf of the Government, does the Minister accept that imposing financial burdens of any kind on would-be publishers would constitute interference with free speech? That is elementarily the case and has been decided by several supreme courts and by the European Court of Human Rights. Is that accepted? I suggest that that is plainly obvious.
