Legislative Reform

Proceeding contribution from Michael Fabricant (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 March 2009. It occurred during Legislative debate on Legislative Reform.
Does my hon. Friend not think that, apart from the fact that there is a delicious irony in the Leader of the House choosing to hold this debate immediately before a debate on the future of local newspapers, it is a particularly difficult time for newspapers, with the cost of newsprint at an all-time high? Sadly, given the number of insolvencies, papers are almost completely dependent on such advertisements to support their classified sections.
