The Government is "concerned" about the increased use of privacy injunctions and is looking at what more it can do, justice minister Alex Davis-Jones has said. Ms Davis-Jones made the comments in the House of Commons after David Walliams was unmasked as the celebrity at the centre of a High Court battle to block the publication of sexual misconduct allegations. Lewis Goodall argues it's 'hypocritical' for the government to criticise Walliams' use on injunctions after he spent two years in a secret court where the government imposed a super-injunction. Mr Walliams has been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct and abusing his power to groom teenagers as young as 15. Mr Walliams has denied all allegations against him and has not been accused of anything illegal.
