Dacre and the PCC were criticised directly by Mosley in March 2009 at a meeting of the culture, media and sport committee at the House of Commons. but Dacre defended the newspaper industry's current system of self-regulation under the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) in his statement accompanying the annual report published in 2010. In April 2009, Dacre made a further appearance in front of the House of Commons CMSSC, where he criticised current libel laws and the fees charged by law firms. Justice Eady referred to Dacre's submission (by "the man from the "Daily Mail"") in December 2009 at a conference about privacy organised by Justice. "This "ad hominem" approach does absolutely nothing to further the debate", he said. Dacre had said this "one man is given a virtual monopoly of all cases against the media", which is "surely the greatest scandal". In his own later speech, Justice Eady asked for alternative proposals and said Dacre did not want any privacy law at all.
