First issued 1961. Fortnightly satirical and current affairs news magazine, published in London and edited by Ian Hislop since 1986. Hislop told the Inquiry that Private Eye was against regulation. It gave two pages a week to criticising national newspaper journalists and Hislop declared that he would therefore not expect a fair hearing from a press complaints body. The activities in focus at the Inquiry, such as phone hacking and police taking money, were already illegal, he said, adding that what was required was the enforcement of existing laws.
