The Leveson Report

Here is Lord Leveson's speech outlining the findings of his controversial Inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the press. The speech was delivered on Thursday 29 November

If you wish to view the report in full (over 2,000 pages!), click here for Volume 1, here for Volume 2, here for Volume 3 and here for Volume 4.

It's likely that many won't have the time to read all 2,000 pages of the four volumes, so a handy executive summary was printed (click here) and makes for very interesting reading.

This has been an examination of British media ethics and has raised many difficult questions: Where next for the press? Are Leveson's suggestions an attack on free speech? Is regulation needed?
