Leveson Inquiry

Answering questions about the publication of the Leveson report next week the PMS said the Leader of the House was expected to set out what the Government will do to respond to Leveson now. In summary, the Prime Minister would make a statement to the House and the Government would make time for a debate on Monday 3 December. The PMS confirmed that the Prime Minister met members of Hacked Off yesterday. Asked who would see the report in advance of publication the PMS said this was a matter for Lord Justice Leveson. There would be a requirement for Core Participants of the Leveson Inquiry to see the report prior to publication but the arrangements would be made by Lord Leveson. A small number of people in Government, who have been agreed by Lord Leveson, would receive limited prior access to ensure that the Government could provide a fuller response than simply just acknowledging it as had been done with previous major enquiries.
