HC Deb 19 June 1992 vol 209 c685W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage what proposals he intends to publish concerning a statutory press complaints commission.

Mr. Mellor

The Government have made it clear that they intend to review the effectiveness of press self-regulation over the period from 1 January 1991 to 30 June 1992. The proposals and the form of their publication will be decided in the light of that review. I shall make a further announcement about the nature of the review shortly.
