Asked by Clive EffordLabourDepartment for Culture, Media and SportTabled Answered 27 February 2025UIN 902909

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department plans to implement the recommendations made by the Leveson Inquiry on independent press regulation.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The Government has clearly laid out its priorities in the manifesto and in the King’s speech, and the second part of Leveson is not among them. There are no current plans for further legislation.
