Tom Watson MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, responding to the House of Lords backing Leveson 2, said:
“In 2012, all parties made a promise to the victims of phone hacking. At many times since then the Tories have tried to renege on that promise.
“Tonight’s votes are an important step towards justice.
“Unlike the Tories, Labour has always stood by the victims of hacking and press intrusion with promises in each of our past manifestos to enact all the recommendations of Leveson.
“These votes send a signal to the Tories: that they must keep their promises.”
