Leveson Inquiry

Proceeding contribution from Dominic Raab (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on Leveson Inquiry.

Lord Justice Leveson’s approach is to argue that regulation must be independent not only of the press, but of Parliament, but he then calls for a statute, drafted by Parliament, detailing the criteria for recognition of the regulations, and that covers everything, from membership of the regulator to the content of the new rules and its powers. How does my hon. and learned Friend reconcile what strikes me as a fatal paradox in that approach?
