She agreed with the former Sky News political editor Adam Boulton, who was also on the panel discussion, who called for the channel to be taken off air.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was entirely predictable that Laurence Fox was going to come out with a statement that was that offensive, but I think what was less predictable was Dan Wootton\u2019s striking reaction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Ofcom deserves a bit of time and space to do its job,\u201d<\/p>\n
The senior Tory MP suggest parliamentarians may have a role in \u201ctightening up\u201d regulations around broadcast rules if they\u2019re \u201cnot happy\u201d with them.<\/p>\n
While she conceded that media regulations isn\u2019t her portfolio, she confessed: \u201cI think it\u2019s something that we have to look at\u201d.<\/p>\n
