Criminal suspects under arrest 'should not be named'
Criminal suspects who have been arrested should not be named until they are charged except for in 'clearly identified circumstances' such as a threat to life. That's according to official guidance issued to police forces in the wake of the Leveson Inquiry.
The recently formed professional standards body the College of Policing approved the guidance tonight following criticism about differing approaches to releasing information by forces.
The college says that at the point of charge, forces can release name, address, occupation and charge details, and must consult the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) if they want to withhold the name.

Parkinson's UK: Too soon to know effects of drug
Parkinson's UK have said it is "too soon to know effects" the common diabetes drug Exenatide will have on the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
– Claire Bale, Research Communications Manager at Parkinson’s UKThis new research is a huge step forward in the on-going fight to find a drug which can slow down, or even halt, the progression of Parkinson's.
Despite these encouraging results, it is simply too soon to tell whether this drug is a blind alley or a breakthrough for people with Parkinson's.
The research was conducted in a very small number of people and, crucially, without a placebo group – making it difficult to draw too many firm conclusions at this stage.
We look forward to seeing the results of a much larger trial to fully examine the usefulness of exenatide for people with Parkinson's.
Diabetes drug link 'good news for Parkinson's patients'
A diabetes drug called Exenatide could be beneficial for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, new research has found.
– Professor Roger Barker, University of CambridgeThis new study is perhaps more noteworthy for the approach it has taken with respect to the clinical trial design.
All of this was done in a modest number of patients and the results compared with a matched control arm that received best medical therapy.
Using this approach they found a signal of effect that suggested that the drug may well be slowing down the disease process.
All of which is good news not only for patients with PD but for us all, as we seek to explore how drugs already out there could be repositioned.
