European Union Bill

Debate between Lord Lea of Crondall and Lord Richard

Tuesday 22nd March 2011 Lords Chamber

[Lord Lea of Crondall]

Does the noble Lord have anything to say about the role of Mr Rupert Murdoch, who is undoubtedly biased? The BBC’s bias is in the mind of the noble Lord, Lord Pearson. Is it not obvious that a great part of the media—now further reinforced by Mr Hunt—is under the control of an American-Australian, who is enormously biased and would influence any referendum?

[Lord Richard]

Does the noble Lord, Lord Pearson, agree that this is a debate about the Bill and not the British press?
