Business of the Day
Until 5.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3))
Strategic lawsuits against public participation and freedom of speech
Lloyd Hatton
That this House recognises the impact of Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) on the publication of stories in the public interest; acknowledges that most cases of SLAPPs do not reach the courts, but are blocked or changed at an earlier, unseen stage; further recognises the importance of disclosing suppressed stories under parliamentary privilege in order to highlight the broader impact of legal threats on free speech; further acknowledges efforts made to tackle SLAPPs through the Economic Crime and Transparency Act 2023; and calls on the Government to introduce comprehensive anti-SLAPP legislation that provides swift dismissal of such cases, protects those targeted from prohibitive legal costs, and ensures that SLAPP filers face significant financial deterrents.
Sam Rushworth
That this House has considered International Men’s Day, issues affecting boys’ and men’s health and wellbeing and gender equality.
Notes:
The subjects for these debates were determined by the Backbench Business Committee.
