Petition Action

Ensure that the Leveson Inquiry does not result in statutory regulation of the press.

Additional Information

We call upon the government to refuse to implement any recommendations of the Leveson Inquiry which will result in statutory controls on press freedom.

A free press is a just and essential requirement of a democratic society. The fact that illegal acts have been committed by some sections of the press (which can be addressed by existing law) must not result in the potential for political control of the press.
