Scotland Yard condemned for hacking probe failures
The Home Affairs Committee criticised the “deliberate attempts by News International to thwart the various investigations” as it rushed out its findings hours after holding its final hearing into the scandal on Tuesday. However, it said there was no “real will” on the part of the Metropolitan Police to overcome the news organisation’s failure to co-operate.
It also called on the Government to provide more funds for Operation Weeting, the police hacking probe, warning that any delay in completing it would “seriously delay” the start of the public inquiry announced by the prime minister.
