Coroners and Justice Bill

I think the noble Lord was asking me to respond, in a way. The answer is that it is not just the right to communicate with the public; any impediment—for example, a tax on free speech, newsprint or costs—or any other burden upon free speech implicates Article 10. That is accepted in the Explanatory Notes. I think the Government will accept that there is an issue under Article 10 of the convention, as well as on the right to property.
