		<description><![CDATA[Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre put forward a compelling case for intruding into the private lives of the rich and famous in his supplementary witness statement to the Leveson Inquiry.

		<title>Dacre&#8217;s list &#8211; why Mail editor&#8217;s plan for a new press card system has some merit</title>
