| Message | The Lords are deeply concerned at how the popular press prints the most terrible stories about their private lives on a daily basis. Every now and then they are also untrue. The Lords would like to see all damaging publications banned but accept article 2 as a step in the right direction. They do therefore assent to this bill.
