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.
"The attorney general acted in this respect completely independently of government, and in his independent public interest capacity."
In response, the BBC said that the report was "a matter of public interest."
