Goldsmith, Coogan, Grant and Mosley testify to Parliament’s privacy committee

By admin

Zac Goldsmith MP, Steve Coogan, Hugh Grant and Max Mosley are testifying today before the joint parliamentary committee on privacy.

Goldsmith has spoken about why he sought a super-injunction in 2008 to prevent details of a private email being made public – in which issues surrounding his impending divorce were discussed.

He spoke of his anger after journalists “shouted over my garden wall when I was playing with my children saying ‘is it true you are divorcing your wife'”.

The testimony of the four can be watched on ParliamentTV here.
