Proceeding contribution from Ben Bradshaw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Phone Hacking.


Phone Hacking

Given what the Prime Minister has said, will he now publish details of all the discussions that he and the Culture Secretary have had with News Corporation representatives since he entered Downing street? A week ago, when I asked the Prime Minister why the Government did not refer the BSkyB bid to the Competition Commission when Labour recommended it, he said:"““You would look pretty for a day, but useless for a week.””—[Official Report, 6 July 2011; Vol. 530, c. 1510.]" Does he regret that answer?
