UK Conservative Party
LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 10: Andy Coulson, former editor of the News of The World and former director of communications for the Conservative Party, arrives at The Royal Courts of Justice to give evidence to the Leveson Inquiry on May 10, 2012 in London, England. This phase of the inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the press in the United Kingdom is looking at the owners of various media groups. The inquiry, which may take a year or more to complete, comes in the wake of the phone hacking scandal that saw the closure of The News of The World newspaper in 2011.
