Proceeding contribution from Lord Wright of Richmond (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Privacy Injunctions.
Privacy Injunctions
May I be allowed very briefly to remind the House of one respect in which the events of last weekend were duplicated some 30 years ago in an attempt, in which I was peripherally involved, to get an injunction on the book by my namesake, Peter Wright, called Spycatcher? An injunction was obtained, but it was overlooked that it did not apply to Scotland, and by the time an interdict had been sought there Spycatcher had been widely described in the Glasgow Herald. Some 30,000 copies were already on the streets.
