Commons ChamberMay we have a debate in Government time on Government procrastination?
Yes, we got that joke.
Earlier today, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport said that it would take up to 12 months to create the recognising body for the press regulatory organisation. That means that in the next eight to 10 weeks at least one body, and probably two, will be seeking recognition, and there will be no one to recognise them. Should we not get this up and running a little bit faster?
The answer to the hon. Gentleman’s question is no. We will not need a debate, because there is no necessity for it.
