Hemming also named Giles Coren as the journalist supposedly threatened with legal action for identifying another footballer protected by an injunction
"Let me just say to the honourable gentleman, I know he's already done it, but occasions such as this are occasions for raising the issues of principle involved, not seeking to flout for whatever purpose.
"If the honourable gentleman wants to finish his question in an orderly way he can do so."
Hemming also named Giles Coren as the journalist supposedly threatened with legal action for identifying on Twitter another footballer protected by an injunction.
Speaking on Radio 4's PM Programme after the Commons session, Hemming said he named Giggs because the player was threatening "relatively ordinary people" with legal action for gossiping.
"I worry greatly about this country's willingness to lock people up in secret. You have the situation, as I mentioned with Giles Coren as well.
"I really don't think that we should allow a situation where people are prosecuted and potentially jailed for two years, and it all happens in secret and you can't know who it's being done to or what's being done ... The first step of identifying who people are has started."
