Closed The Government immediately brings the Crime and Courts Act 2013 s.40 into force.

Closed on

Parliament enacted s.40(6) “This section does not apply until such time as a body is first recognised as an approved regulator”. IMPRESS is an approved regulator. Secretaries of State say, ‘The time is not yet right’. Further consultation defies the will of Parliament: an abuse of government power.

If a TV/radio programme treats you unfairly and/or unwarrantably infringes your privacy, you have a right to complain to the independent Ofcom. The Press should also be accountable without costs risk to the complainant: but they continue to complain and lobby!
