Broadcasters welcomed the inclusion in the Queen’s speech of the promise of legislation to allow them to film court proceedings.
In a joint statement from Sky News, ITN and the BBC, they said:
‘Following years of campaigning, we welcome this historic reform that marks an important step for democracy and open justice.The presence of cameras in our courtrooms will lead to greater public engagement and understanding of our legal system. We look forward to working closely with the judiciary and the Government to ensure that justice will now truly be seen to be done.’
