Brooks: NI acted 'quickly and decisively'

Former News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks today insisted the company acted "quickly and decisively'' in dealing with the phone hacking scandal at the News of the World once it had seen fresh evidence concerning actress Sienna Miller in December 2010.

Giving evidence to the Commons Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Mrs Brooks denied sacking legal expert Tom Crone, saying he left because the News of the World had closed.
