I welcome the Minister's response because he has satisfactorily answered a question I had intended to ask. It has been very often the case that, where a headline blackguarded an individual, the apology was not accorded due prominence. Let us not beat around the bush, this is what newspapers do as a matter of course. I therefore regard the provision as a corrective and the attention of editors should be drawn to the fact that they are required, under law, to give due prominence to their apologies. It is not their practice to do so at present.
