The Leveson Report

The Leveson Report has now been published. You can read the executive summary in PDF format here and the full report, which is published in four volumes:

Volume 1: Context and historical background to the Inquiry.

Volume 2: Leveson's criticisms of press ethics and practices, and relationship between the press and the police.

Volume 3: Data protection and the press, and the relationship between politicians and the press.

Volume 4: Failures of the current system including the law and the PCC, and Leveson.s recommendations for the future of press regulation.

If you don't want to read the whole report, you're in luck. We've created a summary of the Executive Summary (at 0.25% of the length of the report you can't complain) and we've produced a Q&A of Leveson's recommendations.

We are still analysing the detail of the report, and this page will be updated as we learn more.

You can still search evidence in the Evidence section.
