The government is applying for "core participant" status at the Leveson Inquiry.
In a statement on its website, the inquiry said it would sit at 14:00 BST to hear the government's application.
Core participants can be represented by a barrister and seek to cross-examine witnesses and make opening and closing statements.
|
Now I wonder what that is all about? Are they seeking to prop up Hunt?
Quote:
Ross Hawkins said there would be questions over why the government had not applied for core participant status until after those emails had been made public.

Might as well. Someone's already taken his spine (if he had one in the first place). I would chop off his goolies for good measure.

Lord Justice Leveson has granted eight government ministers "core participant" status at his inquiry - allowing them advance sight of witness statements.
The ministers are David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Vince Cable, Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove, Theresa May, Ken Clarke and George Osborne.
The inquiry is set to look at relations between the press and politicians.

What the hell leveson has he lost his marbles would not let any one of them near it.
They should be the last politicians to lead this enquiry like that. Thats like giving keys to burgular expecting him to be honest not to steal.
Surely that enquiry should be upto Impartial JUDGES and/or cross PARTY to determine media/polititians.
I am reading this right.

Wind your neck in..they have not been given control of anything.They will be questioned under oath and Leveson is in charge.Their barristers can ask all the questions they like but at the end of the day the Leveson Inquiry is Leveson's domain and the report he gives will be his.
The only way that the government can control anything is to bury the report when Leveson delivers it.Something that has happened with other such reports.
Of course they can ask for redactions to certain documents..but I suspect that Leveson can see through that..

Pity he wasn't a bit more circumspect when dealing with the Telegraph.

l wonder what lies and deceit we are going to see on Friday and one suspects just as much as their nefarious ex boss who appeared before the Leveson inquiry last week.

Still should have kept his mouth shut..Especially with the tendency towards 'leaks' in political life.
