Labour MP and former journalist Meg Hillier has called on the press to be more open about its post-Leveson regulation plans.

Despite putting her “faith” in the industry to regulate itself without statute, she has criticised editors for keeping the details of their proposed plan under wraps.

Hillier, who was Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change from 2010-11, has refused to back statutory regulation of the press despite her party’s clear, pro-statute position.
