HC Deb 16 February 1998 vol 306 c450W
20. Mr. Chope

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport when he plans to meet the chairman of the Press Complaints Commission to discuss its code of practice. [27604]

Mr. Chris Smith

On 25 September 1997 I welcomed Lord Wakeham's proposals for strengthening the newspaper industry's code of practice, and added that I intended to discuss further protection for people in all walks of life with him. I propose to do so in due course.
