The BBC has been banned from broadcasting a report into the cash for honours investigation.
An injunction was obtained by the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, at a hearing that lasted approximately two hours at the Royal Courts of Justice. A statement issued on behalf of the Attorney General and the Metropolitan Police said:
"The application for an injunction was made by the attorney general this afternoon at the specific request of and in co-operation with the police because of their concerns that the disclosure of certain information at this stage would impede their inquiries.
