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


Phone Hacking

The Prime Minister said that destroying evidence would be a criminal offence, but my understanding is that that is the case only once the terms of reference for the inquiry have been set. Why did he not set up the inquiry last week, when Labour Members asked him to, and will he ensure that the terms of reference are set as soon as possible so that no further evidence is destroyed?
