Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage (Resumed)
12:00 pm
Maurice Hayes (Independent)
I agree that libellous comment on a front page should be corrected on the front page and not among the small advertisements or the stop press. The formulation in the legislation is acceptable in the sense that it seeks proportion. It might actually dispose of concerns I have over another section. As section 20 stands, I am satisfied with it.
