Leveson Inquiry

Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2018. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Leveson Inquiry.

I agree with the hon. Lady that there has been a big change because of modern technology. I want to make sure that we have high-quality journalism in future and that that cannot be undermined by any complainant having costs assigned to the newspaper for any complaint. That is no way to organise a system of press regulation. Instead, we have to make sure that we have sustainable business models for high-quality journalists so that, just as the hon. Lady had the opportunity to be a journalist in the past, people have that sort of opportunity in future.
