Parties say Tory post-Leveson plan 'basis for talks'
Labour and the Lib Dems have cautiously welcomed Tory plans for a new press regulator backed by royal charter in the wake of the Leveson inquiry.
The plan proposes a regulator with a royal charter supervised by a "recognition panel".
The Lib Dems said the ideas were a starting point for talks, while Labour indicated there was a prospect of a deal if changes were made.
David Cameron had rejected a new system underpinned by statute.
