Proceeding contribution from Mark Menzies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Confidence in the Media and Police.


Public Confidence in the Media and Police

In recent days the work of Select Committees has stood the House in good stead and done us proud, but in 2003 a Select Committee warned of a ““catalogue of deplorable practices”” in the media and of potential payments being made by journalists to the police. In the investigation announced by the Prime Minister, will we go that far back and understand why the advice and warnings of that Select Committee were ignored?
