Investigatory Powers Bill

Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 November 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Investigatory Powers Bill.

As ever, I am listening to my hon. Friend’s comments with a great deal of interest. I fear, however, that he may be over-egging things a little bit. There are, of course, very large organisations behind the apparently small media outlets that he refers to. He probably received a note this morning, as I did, from News Media Association, pressing the case of smaller newspapers. In truth, it represents a smokescreen for the interests of larger press organisations. Does he not share my concern that we need to disentangle the very small press outlets that we heard about earlier from regional press, which tends to be controlled by larger operations?
