Press proposals for a royal charter to establish a new system of self-regulation have been rejected, Culture Secretary Maria Miller told the House of Commons yesterday.
Ms Miller said that the industry plans did not comply with some of the "fundamental principles" of the Leveson report on press regulation, including on independence and access to arbitration.
