Lord Justice Leveson, appointed by David Cameron to look into the fall-out from the phone-hacking scandal, has warned that the expansion of the terms of reference of his inquiry has been so broadened that he may not be able to complete the first part of the inquiry within the planned timescale of a year.
He was speaking as his inquiry team met for the first time in London to discuss how it would proceed.
He said "in the first instance the inquiry will focus primarily on what I am calling the relationship between the press and the public and the related issue of press regulation".
He said he would have powers to compel named witnesses to attend and would be discussing with the DPP the extent to which he will be able to look at the scale of specific media wrongdoing before the criminal inquiries have been completed.
