To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage if he will make a statement on his policy on the future of the regulation of the press.

Mr. Key

The Government will set out their views on press self-regulation in their response to the report of the National Heritage Select Committee on Privacy and Media Intrusion. The opportunity will be taken to report progress on those recommendations of Sir David Calcutt relating to the protection of privacy which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State indicated in his statement to the House on 14 January that the Government accepted.
