§ 78. Mr. Platts-Millsasked the Attorney-General whether the Porter Committee, set up to consider amendments to the law of libel and slander, has now finished its work; whether it has presented its Report to the Government; whether the Government proposes to publish it; and whether the will make a statement, generally, on this matter.
§ The Attorney-GeneralAs I informed the hon. Member for Cambridge University 83W (Mr. Pickthorn) on 12th June of this year, it does not now seem likely that the Report will be available until October of this year. It may indeed be somewhat later than that.
