Proceeding contribution from Margot James (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

If the hon. Gentleman does not mind, I will not—the wind-ups start in one minute. My second point concerns the Culture, Media and Sport Committee session yesterday. There are lessons to learn from the Enron case about wilful blindness and when a company's leadership could have known, should have known and sometimes chose not to know. I have worked in such environments at times in my career: there was an awful business of senior leadership turning a blind eye and the management thinking they could get away with things. Instead of that, we should have a culture in the media in which organisations' boards and leaders really look to their journalists to abide by the regulations.
