The Prime Minister
What matters is that we have the proper application of competition policy, that Ofcom is able to look at plurality and that we make decisions on that basis.
Mr John Leech (Manchester, Withington) (LD)
This afternoon, Lord Justice Leveson has called time at the last-chance saloon. I welcome his commitment to a free press and a regulator independent of both press and politicians. However, does the Prime Minister accept that for that to work effectively, a careful balance needs to be struck between incentives and disincentives so that all the press sign up?
