Lib Deb Manifesto Calls For Leveson-Compliant Press Regulator Within a Year
- Press Gazette, Thursday, April 16, 2015 7:36 AM

The party also calls for greater protection for journalists: with a press freedom law, new public interest defences on criminal offences and giving journalists the right to argue in court against police requests to view their phone records.
