Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (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
Before the Minister leaves the subject of the consultation, does he agree that the Publishers Association stated in its response that the plans were, ""disproportionate, impractical, unnecessary and would set a highly dangerous precedent for state control of publishing, putting at risk the UK’s enviable and hard-won freedom of speech"?" Does the Minister further agree that the chief executive of the PA stated: ""The second point is that some of the most potentially offensive stuff wouldn't come from people convicted of something. For example, Nelson Mandela couldn't publish stuff because he was convicted of a crime, but OJ Simpson could, because he wasn't"?" Does the Minister accept that the Publishers Association made strong representations and a number of salient points?
