Proceeding contribution from Lord Stoneham of Droxford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Friday, 15 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on Media: News Corporation.
Media: News Corporation
The point I was making is that I do not know that. That is why the Press Complaints Commission does not have credibility. The danger in the current mood of hysteria and sanctimony is that it will lead to restrictions on the freedom of the press. I welcome the recent speech of the current Deputy Prime Minister. We need now a structure of regulation which preserves media freedom while curbing abuse and, particularly, deals with concentrations of unaccountable and uncontrollable power in the media.
