Leveson Inquiry

Proceeding contribution from Dominic Raab (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on Leveson Inquiry.

If journalists hack phones, they should go to jail. The problem in this instance is not the law, because a two-year sentence is already available, and it can be much higher if the offence amounts to perverting the course of justice. The problem is with

securing witnesses, evidence and convictions. Is my hon. Friend disappointed that the Leveson report says so little about how to address the prosecutorial deficit?
