Cameron Tells Editors To 'Act Quickly' On New Regulations
Newspaper editors have been told that they must act quickly to set up a new press regulator in the wake of the Leveson report.
In a tweet David Cameron said: "I've just spoken to newspaper editors in No.10 - telling them they need to set up an independent regulator urgently."
In his report last week, Lord Justice Leveson recommended an independent self-regulatory body for the press, adding that it should be backed up by legislation.
Labour and the Liberal Democrats both support statutory underpinning, but the prime minister and the majority of Conservative MPs are against it.
