Independent Press Standards Organisation

Written Question House of Commons
Dr Rupa Huq · Labour Answering body: Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
Parliamentary excerpt

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, whether his Department has plans to review the role of the Independent Press Standards Organisation in the regulation of the news media.

Government answer

Answering body: Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

The government is committed to the independent self-regulation of the press and does not intervene in the operation of independent regulators. There have been significant changes to press self-regulation since the Leveson Inquiry and there now exists a strengthened, independent, self-regulatory system. Sir Joseph Pilling’s 2016 review of IPSO found that it had made some important achievements in demonstrating that it is an independent and effective regulator, and it has made further progress since then.
