British bill to curb divorce reporting in Lords
Lord Darling proposes a bill to regulate newspaper accounts of divorce cases. Publication of indecent testimony would be punished by up to three months in jail or a fine, with special prohibition on medical and physiological details. The measure allows reporting of names, addresses, descriptions, witnesses, grounds, and court proceedings, while leaving improper material to be controlled by the court. This echoes laws in France and hints at American and film industry influence.
