By James Chapman, Political Editor PUBLISHED: 18:40 EST, 25 June 2013 | UPDATED: 18:40 EST, 25 June 2013 Lord Justice Leveson is facing a standoff with MPs after being summoned to give evidence to a Commons committee on the future of Press regulation. The judge, who led last year’s inquiry into media standards, was yesterday called to appear before the culture, media and sport committee. He refused to answer questions on the day his report was published and is understood to have indicated that he has no desire to appear before MPs, arguing that judges do not have to explain themselves to Parliament.
