Proceeding contribution from Lord Lester of Herne Hill (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 29 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

As I understand the Minister, it is the intention that these provisions should have a chilling effect by deterring the Ian Huntleys, for the reasons that Dr Johnson gave. Are they not to deter people by depriving them of the profits from publishing material considered by the Government to be undesirable and of no value?
