Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab MP has pointed to News Media Association evidence submitted to the consultation on reform of the Human Rights Act which stresses the importance of seizing the opportunity to strengthen freedom of expression.    <\/p>\n

During topical questions this week Mr Raab was asked by Aaron Bell MP if he could \u201creassure me, my constituents, journalists across the country and the wider public\u201d that he will do \u201cwhatever it takes\u201d to support the freedom of the press and freedom of speech.<\/p>\n

In response, Mr Raab drew Mr Bell\u2019s attention to NMA evidence which talks about the specific proposals to \u201cstrengthen and reinforce freedom of expression and media rights as critically important, alongside the other work we are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Daily Mail<\/a> this week, NMA director of legal Sayra Tekin said: \u201cThe review of the Human Rights Act represents an important opportunity to strengthen the right to freedom of expression and, in particular, to protect press freedom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will better enable journalists to do what they do best carrying out their vital role in society, holding the rich and powerful to account on behalf of the public. We are pleased that Ministers recognised this when launching the review.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the review moves forward, we look forward to working with government to ensure that the new regime has the right to freedom of expression at its heart, creating the conditions for independent journalism to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n
