Defamation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 April 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Defamation Bill.

As the right hon. Gentleman knows, I am very sympathetic to the point he is making, and I certainly agree that the case of Dr Singh exemplifies the wrong that we seek to redress. It is simply a matter of the tactics that we use to achieve the result that we want. The Minister has expressed her willingness to consider tabling another amendment, and it seems to me that, in procedural terms, the only way in which we can do that is by ensuring that the Commons disagrees with the Lords so that negotiation can take place in the other place over the next few days.
