He was asked about what conversations he had with them, relating to the BSkyB bid, but seemed to have the amnesia he accuses everyone else of having. Why didn't he answer them? What has he got to hide?
Ahem....

From the BBC
Quote:
Mr Cameron also faced a barrage of questions from Labour MPs over whether he had broken the ministerial code by discussing Rupert Murdoch's bid to take control of BSkyB with News International executives such as Rebekah Brooks.

To roars of outrage from the Opposition benches, Mr Cameron replied: "I never had any inappropriate conversations".

He insisted he had taken himself out of the decision-making process entirely
How could he answer about conversations he never had?

Did Ed M have any conversations about it, when he met with them at the News International Summer Party, or when he spoke at the Times CEO Summit last month? BBC
