My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for his remarks. When the cream eventually reaches the Prime Minister I hope at least a footnote on this debate is enclosed.
This is a bigger and in some senses, a wider issue, but it is also an issue that is very relevant to this Bill. It is one that we need to get a decision on relatively early. There has been some move to all-party discussions on the other side of Leveson. If there is legislation to be proposed, in whatever form, it will have to include this. I would hope that we can come through this very difficult crisis with the news media with a cross-party agreement on how we should proceed. I hope that what little we can do here will help that. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
