I move amendment No. 16:

In page 16, line 42, after "apology" to insert the following:

"of equal prominence in the publication to contain the apology to that of the original statement".

These amendments should, perhaps, be taken in combination with Government amendment No. 18. I have suggested that where there is an apology, it should be given equal prominence to the original alleged defamation or libel. The Minister seems to have addressed my concern in a Government amendment, but in a different part of the Bill.
