Phone Hacking and the Media

Diana Johnson Excerpts

Monday 11th July 2011 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hunt]

I will happily pass on the hon. Lady’s request to the Prime Minister, who will make a decision on what he wishes to place on the public record.

[Diana Johnson (Kingston upon Hull North) (Lab)]

Due to the confusion about who knew what and when in Downing street, is it not about time that the Cabinet Secretary was asked to conduct a review and get to the bottom of who knew what and when?

[Mr Hunt]

With respect to the hon. Lady, we have two independent reviews, one of which is looking into all illegal and improper activity, and the other of which is looking into press ethics. I think that all the activities about which she is concerned will be covered.
