MPs questioned Lord Justice Leveson’s independence last week after he admitted attending two parties at the home of Matthew Freud, a PR executive and Rupert Murdoch’s son in law in the past year.
Lord Justice Leveson appeared to address these concerns. He said: “I have no doubt that we have all been chosen for our experience of the law, the press, regulation and governance, policing or politics and the expertise which has come from that experience. It is inevitable, therefore, that there are such contacts or links and there should be no apology for this.
"Had I had the slightest doubt about my own position, I would not have accepted the appointment, and I also make it clear that I am satisfied that what the panellists have said creates no conflict of interest for them or me.”
Lord Justice Leveson said that the focus of the inquiry was “the culture, practices and ethics of the press in the context of the latter’s relationship with the public, police and politicians” and held out the possibility of tougher regulation in future.

1. Don't hold your breath

As it was all those arrested were due to be officially charged with whatever this October. Their trials are all to be held at the same time which was foreseen to be spring 2013 at which time it has already been announced a full lockdown will occur on news coverage. This implies that the projected additional time period above will extend the whole lot even further into the future.
