This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Create laws to enforce fining of the press (Leveson recommendation)
More details
We, the undersigned, call on the government to create the legislation recommended by the Leveson report.
The executive summary states;
"...it is essential that there should be legislation to underpin the independent self-regulatory system
and facilitate its recognition in legal processes"
Therefore we believe that not creating the legislation would make a mockery of the time and money spent by all parties in assisting with the creation of the report.
