Hemmings on Goodwin
March 12, 2011 11:39 AM
• [Mar 10] John Hemming (Birmingham, Yardley, Liberal Democrat): IN a secret hearing, Fred Goodwin has obtained a super-injunction preventing him from being identified as a banker. Will the Government hold a debate, or make a statement, on freedom of speech, and whether there is one law for the rich, such as Fred Goodwin, and another for the poor, such as Lee Gilliland who has had his mental capacity removed on the basis of a report from his GP that he is not allowed to see?
George Young (Leader of the House of Commons, House of Commons; North West Hampshire, Conservative): I know that in a week's time my hon. Friend will have a debate in Westminster Hall which may impinge on some of these issues. I will raise with the appropriate Minister the matter that he has just raised, but it seems to impinge on the responsibility of the courts and any Minister would be cautious about commenting on that.
