Point of order from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Food Labelling (Halal and Kosher Meat).
Food Labelling (Halal and Kosher Meat)
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. The Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport assured the House that in respect of the News Corporation bid for BSkyB, he was acting as Secretary of State in a quasi-judicial capacity, and above all in a way that was impartial and fair. In view of the evidence that has been adduced before the Leveson inquiry today, it appears that the Secretary of State has fallen woefully short of the standards expected from him in his office and in the public interest. I believe that the right thing for the Secretary of State to do would be to come to the House to offer an apology and tender his resignation.
