PM ‘should hand over Brooks messages’

Labour yesterday called on Prime Minister David Cameron to disclose all his communications with former News International executive Rebekah Brooks, amid claims that a tranche of e-mails and text messages between them has not been handed over to the Leveson Inquiry.

The demand came after Mr Cameron refused to answer a question about the messages in the House of Commons. In a letter to the PM, shadow culture secretary Harriet Harman said it was “vital” Lord Justice Leveson had all the evidence available, and called on Mr Cameron to hand over all his communications with Mrs Brooks and former News of the World editor Andy Coulson.

It was reported this week that there were dozens of e-mails which had not been released. But Downing Street insists it has handed over all the material requested.
