Roger on Lord Leveson

Speaking from Westminster prior to the much anticipated release of Lord Leveson’s  first report into the press,  Roger said: “I am not in favour of self regulation for the press and, indeed, for any other bodies of professionals because, in my experience, the only one that does a good job of ‘self regulation’ is the British Medical Association.

 

I believe that there does need to be independent regulation of the media but this can only have the required powers if it is backed by statutory laws and that is what I will be supporting.”
