Now, assuming Alex made the notes by hand and kept the recording as evidence in case he should want to check his notes, I'm not sure what the legal position would be, but investigative journalists and even general reporters would have a problem. If I can't say I spoke to X about Y and he said ... then we would have a serious problem!


Check the Ofcom website:

The legal position is he/jurnos can't use them, he can legitimately say he was recording for research purposes only, they cannot publish quotes or the gist of the conversation. As I said there are exceptions to this rule, you could agrue it's in the public interest for instance however given the nature of the campaign imo it's morally suspect to put one group of peoples right to privacy above anothers.
