	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>The government announced in 2018 that it would not be taking forward Part 2 of the Leveson Inquiry. The Inquiry and subsequent police investigations were comprehensive. More than 300 people gave evidence to the Inquiry, and over 40 people were convicted during the three major investigations. The media landscape has changed significantly since Part 1 of the Inquiry. Reopening the Inquiry would cost millions, and we believe it is no longer appropriate, proportionate, or in the public interest to do so. There have been extensive reforms to policing practices, as well as significant changes to press self-regulation.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 04/11/2019 14:12:38 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
