Report (4th Day)
Coroners and Justice Bill
12:30 pm
Baroness Stern (Crossbench)
While the Minister is still on this part of his speech, could he address the point made by the noble Baroness, Lady McIntosh? As I understand it, the Government are of the view that what the victim of a serious crime minds, if something is written about it, is not that it is written about and that is published and many people read it, but that the person gets money for it. I understand that it is the Government's view that once that money is taken away, the victim no longer suffers from the hurt and distress of having it published. Have I understood that right?
