Episode 3 - Parliamentary Privilege

In episode 3, Tom and Paul are joined by Colin Murray (Newcastle University) to discuss Lord Hain’s use of parliamentary privilege to break a so-called “non-disclosure agreement” between a high-profile businessman and a former employee, and the reporting of this incident in the media. They also take a look at the issues in the defamation case of Lachaux v Independent Print, which was heard by the Supreme Court in mid-November.
