Proceeding contribution from Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on Public Confidence in the Media and Police.


Public Confidence in the Media and Police

I do agree with the hon. Gentleman that the current system of self-regulation has failed, not least because it did not properly respond to all these warnings. That is why I choose to talk about independent regulation. I do not want to see statutory regulation—the heavy hand of the state. We have got to try to find a way to make sure that the press is regulated in a way that is independent from them, but not by the state and the Government. I think it is doable.
