James Murdoch to testify again to hacking committee

BRITISH lawmakers will grill Rupert Murdoch’s son, James, about newspaper phone hacking for a second time next month.

The announcement came as Murdoch’s former right-hand man denied he knew about the scale of the wrongdoing when he paid almost £250,000 to a reporter convicted of illegal eavesdropping.

The House of Commons Culture, Media and Sport committee said James Murdoch, his father’s heir-apparent, will give evidence on November 10.
