London Mayor Boris Johnson looked at securing commercial deals with News International at the same time the Metropolitan Police was investigating the company over phone hacking, BBC London has learned.
Mr Johnson, Conservative candidate in the mayoral elections, had constitutional responsibility for Scotland Yard - but at the same time he was also looking to the media giant to sponsor the cable car and a new academy in east London.
A spokeswoman for Labour mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone said the revelations raised "serious questions" and Mr Johnson needed "to open the books and publish all the email and other contact between him, News International and the Murdochs".
