The Government is committed to protecting press freedom, which is essential to a strong and functioning democracy. In the UK, there exists an independent, self-regulatory system for the press, which is crucial to maintain press freedom.
The Government therefore does not use, intervene in or oversee the work of Impress or other independent press regulators.
