<p>Her Majesty’s Government has noted the report and its findings.</p><p>Regarding
the report's findings on press regulations, Her Majesty’s Government is committed
to a free and independent media. It is not appropriate for Her Majesty’s Government
to arbitrate on what should or should not be published or broadcast. Ofcom is the
UK’s independent regulator of television services. The Ofcom Broadcasting Code covers
standards in programmes and has rules to ensure that broadcast news is reported with
due accuracy and impartiality. There exists an independent self regulatory regime
to ensure that the press adheres to a wider set of clear and appropriate standards,
and to offer individuals a means of redress where these are not met.</p>
