<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>
