Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has said that although it welcomes the inclusion of journalistic protections in specific clauses of the UK Counter-Terrorism and Border Security Bill, it remains concerned about the press freedom implications of a number of problematic provisions that were retained in the final version of the bill. The bill passed after a ‘ping-pong’ debate between the House of Commons and House of Lords, which reached final stages on 22 January 2019.
