Calls have been made for a public inquiry into the treatment of Jason Arday, after Lord Simon Woolley accused the media of subjecting him to a sustained and unfair campaign.
Lord Woolley said Arday had been “hounded” and pursued relentlessly, characterising the scrutiny as a “witchhunt”. The remarks place pressure on those responsible for examining the circumstances around the coverage and whether a formal inquiry should be established.
The source material does not specify who else has joined the call, what events prompted the demand, or which media organisations Lord Woolley was referring to. It also does not provide a response from Arday, any media outlet, or any public authority.
A public inquiry would represent a formal step only if approved through the appropriate official process. Based on the available information, the latest position is that Lord Woolley has publicly pressed for such an inquiry and framed the issue as one of sustained media pursuit of Arday.
