He was also responsible for the creation of the Press Complaints Commission. He is buried in the churchyard of St Beuno's Church at Culbone, Somerset. Calcutt was known throughout the 1980s and 1990s for preparing reports and inquiries into various areas of public life. he was asked to produce a report on a fire in the Falkland Islands in which eight people died, then soon afterwards to produce a report into the Cyprus Seven spy affair, in which seven servicemen were acquitted of having passed secrets to the Russians. He is most famous for suggesting the creation of the Press Complaints Commission in 1990, though he was later quite scathing about it describing it as {{cquote|a body set up by the industry, dominated by, and operating to a code of practice devised by the industry and which is over-favourable to the industry.[2]}} He was married to Barbara, a psychiatric worker, in 1969, and in later life, he developed Parkinson's disease, but he remained "cheerful and genial".[3] References1. ^[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2004/aug/17/guardianobituaries.pressandpublishing Sir David Calcutt profile], The Guardian, 17 August 2004. {{start box}}{{s-aca}}{{succession box2. ^{{cite news |title=Sir David Calcutt |url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/sir-david-calcutt-b6jzsvwk8qj |accessdate=22 March 2019 |work=The Times |date=17 August 2004|subscription=yes}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Sir David Calcutt |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1469476/Sir-David-Calcutt.html |accessdate=22 March 2019 |work=The Telegraph |date=15 August 2004}} | title = Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge | years = 1985–1994 | before = Sir Derman Christopherson | after = Sir John Gurdon}}ie{{end box}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Calcutt, David}}{{England-academic-bio-stub}}{{England-law-bio-stub}} 11 : 1930 births|2004 deaths|Alumni of King's College, Cambridge|Fellows of Magdalene College, Cambridge|Masters of Magdalene College, Cambridge|English barristers|Knights Bachelor|Lawyers awarded knighthoods|Members of the Middle Temple|English Queen's Counsel|English legal scholars |
