JOURNALISTS' DISCLOSURE OF SOURCES OF INFORMATION (EDM854)

JOURNALISTS' DISCLOSURE OF SOURCES OF INFORMATION

EDM number 854 in 2001-02, proposed by David Chaytor on 13/02/2002.

That this House commends the actions of those journalists who refuse to disclose sources of information; regrets that they may face contempt of court proceedings for defending their professional code of conduct; and calls on the Government to seek urgent clarification of the implications of Section 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights in respect of the protection of journalists' sources of information.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
