Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
Human Rights
I am pleased to hear the Chairman of the Committee on which I serve set out the provisions so clearly. I support what he has said, as both Dr. Peter Harbour and the journalist involved in that case are my constituents. Why do the Government not understand how difficult it is for someone to have that private, prior restraint applied to them but to find that the costs involved in resolving the matter are beyond their means, particularly if they cannot receive legal aid? I wonder whether the Minister would be willing to meet that gentleman to explain to him what is not clear from her reply in the Government's response.
