Deregulation Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Whittingdale (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 February 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Deregulation Bill.

My right hon. Friend said that the Bill’s provisions were being introduced on the advice of those who were most affected by the regulations, but he will be aware of the concern that has been expressed by a wide range of media and broadcasting organisations about the effect of clause 47 in removing important journalistic protections. Is there anything he can say to reassure them that it will not have the effect they fear?
