Baroness Hollins – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Hollins on 2016-06-09.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 26 January (HL Deb, col 1152), whether it is their policy that the trial of Mazher Mahmood would need to be completed before Part 2 of the Leveson Inquiry could take place.

Baroness Neville-Rolfe

Criminal proceedings connected to the subject matter of the Leveson Inquiry, including the appeals process, have not yet been completed. We‎ have always been clear that these cases must conclude before we consider Part 2 of the Inquiry.
