On 13 February 2015, Trinity Mirror published a public apology to "all its victims of phone hacking" on page two of "The Daily Mirror". It also set aside a further £8m to cover both the cost of settling future phone hacking compensation payments to victims yet to come forward and the associated legal expenses. This brought the total set aside by Trinity Mirror in relation to phone hacking to £12m. The statement of apology said that the "unacceptable intrusion […] was unlawful and should never have happened, and fell far below the standards our readers expect and deserve". It added that the practice had "long since been banished from Trinity Mirror's business and we are committed to ensuring it will not happen again". The same apology was printed in the following editions of the "Sunday People" and "Sunday Mirror".
