In the Belfast Telegraph of September 16 2013
here, the editor of that paper Mike Gilson welcomed the decision of Simon Hamilton to refer the Defamation Act 2013 to the NI Law Commission (we posted
here). In that report he
said:
"This is an important subject, and the UUP leader Mike Nesbitt and the Sinn Fein MLA Daithi McKay deserve credit for keeping up the pressure on this issue."
The News Letter reported in March 2013
here:
"The SDLP and Alliance Party have since said that they support the reform. And the SDLP said that the decision was not taken by the five-party Executive but by Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness’ department."
