Debate between Lord Henley and Lord Maxton

Tuesday 6th December 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Maxton]

My Lords, Maxton is the name. Why are this Government quite happy, as is Parliament and as previous Governments have been, to regulate television, radio and even the internet but are not prepared to undertake the statutory regulation of the print media?

[Lord Henley]

My Lords, I repeat what I said earlier: we will consider the results of this report and make the appropriate response at that stage.
