Closed Parliament debate on the Right of Reply of people attacked in daily newspapers

Closed on

It is intolerable and unfair that individuals attacked and criticised in the daily newspapers in the UK are not presently afforded the Right of Reply in said newspapers.

I feel it is deemed necessary to debate whether individuals attacked in the UK mass media should be afforded an automatic Right of Reply to respond and the editors of the relevant newspapers should be made by law to publish those individuals replies with space afforded equal to the column size of the original articles which attacked them.
