A clearer set of guidelines is issued which will assist in deciding whether or not to prosecute journalists according to the British director of Public Prosecutions.

"The Crown Prosecution Service has no specific policy relating to journalists who may try to rely on a public interest defense; it would be prudent to set out the factors in one place for easy reference",said Keir Starmer to the Leveson Inquiry.

The guidelines, which are set to come out within several weeks, will be available for public consultation for 12 weeks before assuming the form of formal policy.
