I understand what the Minister has stated but I cannot accept it under the current circumstances because tapes and telephone calls are such a big issue. The Leveson inquiry which took place across the water is a good model for an inquiry and it was based on illegal telephone tapping. I am concerned the Minister's well-intentioned original definition might not have included some of the items captured by Leveson. To cut to the chase, I will press the amendment.
