Leveson Inquiry

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hoey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on Leveson Inquiry.

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that protecting journalists’ sources is a fundamental principle of investigative journalism? Leveson seems to

want to throw that out of the window if the information has been “stolen”. Does he realise that under such a system none of the expenses scandal involving the House of Commons would have emerged, and is that not very worrying indeed?
