Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) 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

The answer, which I will explain in more detail if I catch Mr Speaker's eye, is that provisions to do both are on the statute book. They are in section 76 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, and it is a matter for the Government to implement them. It is quite wrong for the Government to assert that we took no action. We did act, consistently, with the Information Commissioner's report.
