The culture secretary, Matt Hancock, confirmed on Thursday that the government would drop plans for the second phase of the Leveson inquiry into press standards launched in the wake of the phone-hacking scandal.

Labour immediately attacked the decision as a breach of trust, and the inquiry chair, Lord Leveson, published a letter to Hancock and the home secretary, Amber Rudd,in which he accused the government of breaking promises made to phone-hacking victims.
“I have no doubt that there is still a legitimate expectation on behalf of the public and, in particular, the alleged victims of phone hacking and other unlawful conduct, that there will be a full public examination of the circumstances that allowed that behaviour to develop,” he wrote. “That is what they were promised.”
