The press regulator is to look at allegations that the Daily Telegraph allowed commercial pressures to dictate editorial decisions following Peter Oborne’s resignation over its coverage of HSBC.
Sir Alan Moses, the chairman of the Independent Press Standards Organisation, said he wanted to hear from Oborne, the paper’s former chief political commentator, other journalists and Telegraph management over claims that the Barclay brothers-owned newspaper refused to run stories about the banking giant because of concerns over advertising.
“We haven’t had multiple complaints … we should look at it but we haven’t had the meeting or got in the information that we should have got in,” Moses told MPs on the House of Commons culture, media and sport select committee on Tuesday.
