HC Deb 20 November 1995 vol 267 c22W
Mr. Soley

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what consideration he has given to press coverage of trials. [512]

Mr. John M. Taylor

The administration of justice should, so far as possible, be public. Subject to certain statutory safeguards, including the law relating to contempt of court, the coverage of trials is a matter for the press itself.
