First Special Report
Privacy and media intrusion
1. The Committee published its Fifth Report of Session
2002-03 on 16 July 2003.[1]
The Government published its response in October.[2]
In January 2004 we received responses from the Press Complaints
Commission (PCC)[3] and
the Press Standards Board of Finance (PressBoF). These replies
are published as Appendices I and 2 to this Special Report. For
ease of reference the text of the Government's reply is also included
(see Appendix 3).
2. As suggested in our original Report, we intend
to return to these matters in due course: after Ofcom has completed
its relevant reviews and once reforms undertaken by the PCC have
had time to take effect.
