THOMPSON ON LEVESON

Perhaps you may wish to comment on this from BBC DG Mark Thompson to the Leveson Inquiry this morning?

"The BBC is not a business and it might well be that someone running a media business might take a different view from the view that I took as director general of the BBC.

"The BBC is a public service broadcaster. It is committed to be the most trusted, trustworthy source of news in the world and we want to maintain the highest possible standards in all matters, including matters relating to privacy."
