The Spectator magazine declared Martin one of 'the glorious 15' Parliamentarians of the Year for 2013.
The 2013 awards was the first time that 'Parliamentarian of the Year' was awarded to more than one person. The Spectator cited that "our Parliamentarians of 2013 are those who went through the ‘no’ lobby to prove that our ancient tradition of press freedom is not abolished without a fight."
