The Prime Minister
As the House knows, Andy Coulson came to stay with me in March. I have not spoken to him for weeks. While he worked for me, that obviously was discussed on an ongoing basis. Just to repeat: if I had had evidence that he knew about the hacking, I would not have employed him, and if I had had some while he was working for me, I would have relieved him of the appointment.

The Prime Minister’s predecessor, the right hon. Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath (Mr Brown), said that he wanted to hold a public inquiry into this matter. Can the Prime Minister tell the House what detailed preparations on these important issues were left behind in No. 10 for him on taking office?
