Lord Chancellor denies Web site censorship

By John Oates

Published: 9 November 1999 18:34 GMT

The Lord Chancellor's office has refuted suggestions that it demanded the closure of a Web site set up to criticise five judges.

The site, hosted by Kingston Communications, was set up by James Hilbert and featured an open letter he wrote to Chancellor Lord Irvine in which he made a number of allegations against five UK judges.

The ISP said in a statement: "The Lord Chancellor's department did not order the closure of the Web site, but drew our attention to it. After reviewing the material we decided to apply our conditions of Internet service and believe the action we took was correct."
