Defamation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord May of Oxford (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Defamation Bill.

This is a sensitive and difficult issue but I find myself in agreement with the noble Lord, Lord Lester, and others that the downside of doing this outweighs the upside. However, it was also my impression—which may just reveal that I did not understand what was going on—that quite a significant recourse is already given by what we were discussing under Clause 5.
