Conclusion (the committee's words)
We note the conclusion of the Government’s review of Section 40 of the Crime and Courts Act and its decision that it should be repealed. However, there can be no room for complacency regarding press standards. We will continue to scrutinise the work of the media industry and hold the press accountable for its reporting.
