Leveson to break silence on Cabinet phone call

Lord Justice Leveson is expected to break his silence today on a phone call in which he questioned David Cameron’s commitment to his inquiry.

The judge contacted Cabinet Secretary Jeremy Heywood after Education Secretary Michael Gove expressed concern over the “chilling” effect the media standards investigation was having on freedom of speech.

The Prime Minister subsequently said his minister had made an “important point” – prompting Lord Justice Leveson to seek assurances that the government had not formed a view before his final report.
