Version 0 of 1.

The Leveson Inquiry opened almost 18 months ago, with Lord Justice Leveson declaring "The focus of the Inquiry is the culture, practices and ethics of the press".

Tomorrow marks the publication of his report, awaited by journalists and media academics across the UK and beyond with eagerness and anxiety in equal measure.

Over two hundred individuals have been directly involved in the Inquiry in one form or another over more than 70 days of hearings.

Here, and in the image above, is a selection of these and other interesting numbers concerning the people, timings and costs involved:

• Module 1: The Press and Public - 38 days of hearings, 184 witnesses gave oral evidence, 42 more gave written statements<br />• Module 2: The Press and the Police - 9 days of hearings<br />• Module 3: The Relationship Between Press and Politicians - 25 days of hearings<br />• Module 4 Submissions on The Future Regime for the Press - 26 submissions made<br />• Costs: £3.9m as of 30 June 2012, projected by Jeremy Hunt to rise to £5.6m at its conclusion<br />• 51 victims named, of whom 30 were male and 21 female. Eight were politicians, 5 publicists or agents, 4 musicians or actors, 3 television presenters and 3 sportsmen.
