Government announces suppression of Public Inquiry into police, press and political corruption and seeks repeal of Leveson’s access to justice recommendation | Hacked Off

The Government today announced that the second part of the Leveson Inquiry will be cancelled. It was due to investigate corruption between politicians, the police, and the press, and the corporate governance failures which allowed phone hacking, illegal data theft, and systematic breaches of ethical codes by editors of national newspapers to be covered up.

The Government also announced it intends to seek repeal of measures designed to provide access to justice for ordinary people who are victims of press abuse.
