Conclusion
- On balance we firmly recommend
that the Government reconsider its position and bring forward
legislative proposals to clarify the protection that individuals
can expect from unwarranted intrusion by anyone—not
the press alone—into their private lives. This is necessary
fully to satisfy the obligations upon the UK under the European
Convention of Human Rights. There should be full and wide consultation
but in the end Parliament should be allowed to undertake its proper
legislative role.
