British MPs may recall Murdoch for further evidence

A British Parliamentary Committee, investigating the phone hacking scandal that led to the closure of the News of the World last month says it now want to cross examine James Murdoch in the light of the new evidence. A letter from a journalist jailed for phone hacking, which alleges senior News of the World figures knew what was going on, has been released by MPs. Committee chairman, Tory MP John Whittingdale, said that it might recall Mr Murdoch to give further evidence because it needed to ask more questions on what he knew about hacking. Other former News International executives are already expecting to be called to give evidence to MPs in September.
