Parliament urged to investigate press regulator in free speech row

Parliamentary authorities were urged in early 2025 to investigate press regulator Ipso over a ruling involving The Telegraph’s reporting of Commons remarks in London.
The call followed Ipso upholding a complaint by the Muslim Association of Britain against The Telegraph for quoting Michael Gove’s Commons allegations linking MAB to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Three former Cabinet ministers criticized Ipso’s decision, stating its reprimand conflicted with parliamentary privilege that protects reporting of parliamentary proceedings.
Sir David Davis emphasized that Ipso should be aware that the British media is fully entitled to cover and publish what is discussed in this Chamber freely and without any restrictions.
The controversy implies tension between press regulation and free speech, prompting calls for parliamentary scrutiny of Ipso’s actions to uphold constitutional rights.
