Levenson Report To Be Published November 29
The Levenson report on press standards will be published next Thursday, 29 November.
Lord Justice Levenson will make a televised statement on the day, but has said he will not field questions from journalists or grant interviews that day.
The long expected and wide-ranging report into the culture, practices and ethics of the press will be published at 1.30pm on Thursday 29 November, when it will be laid in both Houses of Parliament.
However, it is thought that MPs may not get to debate the report formally until December 3 – although there is some pressure to hold a parliamentary debate on the day.
The high court judge will make an on-camera statement about his findings at the Queen Elizabeth II conference centre immediately after publication of the report.
While the press and public have been invited to attend the televised statement, Leveson has said he does not intend to take any questions and will not be available for "one-to-one interviews with the media".
The full report will be made available on the Leveson inquiry website, www.levesoninquiry.org.uk.
