MP claims Blair and Middleton victims of hacking

SCOTLAND Yard could widen its investigation into hacking amid claims Tony Blair and Kate Middleton have been victims.

The force said it had received allegations of privacy breaches which fall outside of its ongoing probe into claims that staff at the News of the World hacked into the messages of celebrities, politicians and royals.

It came as the House of Commons heard claims the former prime minister was targeted by private detective Jonathan Rees.
