Defamation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Robert Flello (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 September 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Defamation Bill.

I appreciate the Minister’s clarification, but I think that the newspapers will always claim that there are chilling effects. On balance, this will hit the likes of the McCanns and the Dowlers—people whom we should really be making sure are not hit.

In conclusion, I will push the new clause to a vote, because it is on a matter of principle. We need to send a message that when a promise is made, we expect to see it fulfilled.

Question put, That the clause be read a Second time.
