The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to protect people affected by (a) discrimination, (b) inaccuracy and (c) intrusion in the press.

The Government currently has no plans to bring forward legislative proposals to regulate the press.
