Data Protection Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Data Protection Bill [Lords].

That is neither here nor there, because the whole point of the Leveson inquiry was to establish what happened. Hundreds of individuals have had to go through the civil courts to try to establish what happened in their individual case. Many of them now know more than the country does about what happened at that time, but they are unable to say so because they have had to sign confidentiality agreements. The truth of the matter is that we still have never got to the bottom of what level of collusion there was between the Metropolitan police and the News of the World, and many newspapers have simply lied.
