Essential Law for Journalists co-editor Tom Welsh tells me that when police raided the Kent home of shadow immigration spokesman Damian Green, while investigating leaks from the Home Office, they seized his copy of the tome so familiar to most journalists.
Tom refers to an interview with Green in The Times last month with Alice Thomson and Rachel Sylvester. He told them: "In Kent, there was no one to stop the police seizing armfuls of equipment and papers. They took everything, not just the computer: the phones, the faxes, all electronic communication, books, Post-it Notes, bank statements. They even took my copy of Essential Law For Journalists, which I hadn’t looked at since I was a trainee journalist."
