Guardian Daily: Gag on reporting MP’s Trafigura question lifted


A gag on the Guardian reporting an MP's question in parliament was lifted yesterday after an extraordinary explosion of activity on the internet. Alan Rusbridger, the editor of the Guardian, explains how it happened.

Among the MPs who tried to get an emergency debate on the injunction was David Heath, the Liberal Democrats' parliamentary spokesman. He explains why the justice secretary, Jack Straw, should intervene.
