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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, pursuant to the Written Statement of 11 January 2017, HCWS401, within what timescale her Department plans to complete analysis of the responses to the consultation on the Leveson Inquiry and its implementation.

An application for a judicial review of the consultation exercise has been made. The government has given an undertaking to the court that it will not take any final decisions on the matters to which this consultation relates until the court has determined the judicial review application. We are unable to commit to a timetable at this time.
