Written Question
Press: Regulation
Monday 21st December 2015

Asked by: Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment has been made of the success of the current system of press regulation in preventing children being named before being charged, following the identification before charges were brought of the child convicted of stabbing Vincent Uzomah and the child accused of fatally stabbing Bailey Gwynne.

Answered by Baroness Neville-Rolfe - Shadow Minister (Treasury)

The Government is committed to a strong, independent and effective self-regulatory system for the press that commands the confidence of both the public and the industry.Following the Leveson Inquiry, and with cross-party agreement, Government has now delivered the framework for a new system of independent press self-regulation: the Royal Charter has been sealed and the Press Recognition Panel has been appointed, opening for business in September of this year. We must now give this new approach time to become established.
