Data Protection Bill [Lords]

"In his intervention, the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe (Mr Clarke) just talked about the importance of an independent regulator. Is it not the case, however, that IPSO is not independent? It was set up by the press and its terms of reference are those of the press; …..."

Data Protection Bill [Lords]

Written Question
Culture, Practices and Ethics of the Press Inquiry
Monday 12th March 2018

Asked by: Ian C. Lucas (Labour - Wrexham)

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

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, if he will publish the (a) correspondence and (b) minutes of meetings between (a) himself, (b) Ministers of his Department and (c) officials in his Department and Sir Brian Leveson on (A) the commencement of Part 2 of the Leveson Inquiry and (B) Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act 2013.

Answered by Margot James

The Government's correspondence with Sir Brian on the future of the Leveson Inquiry has been published here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-the-leveson-inquiry-and-its-implementation. There is no correspondence relating to section 40 as it would not be appropriate for Sir Brian, as a serving judge, to express a view on the legislative proposals of government. DCMS and Home Office ministers have met with Sir Brian numerous times since the Inquiry was established to discuss a range of issues, and his views have been set out in the Government response to the consultation.
