Re: [Update] The News Corp scandal
Should be a very interesting week?
Quote:
David Cameron, Nick Clegg, George Osborne and Gordon Brown will appear before the Leveson Inquiry next week, it has been announced.
The inquiry into press ethics is currently examining the relationship between politicians and the media.
The prime minister will be the sole witness on Thursday, the inquiry's witness list shows.
Mr Osborne and Mr Brown will give evidence on Monday, with Mr Clegg appearing on Wednesday.
Labour leader Ed Miliband, former Prime Minister Sir John Major and Deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman will give evidence to the inquiry at London's Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond will also give evidence on Wednesday.
The prime minister has backed Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt amid calls for him to resign over his department's relationship with News Corp during its bid to take full control of BSkyB.
At the last hearing before a week's adjournment on 31 May, Mr Hunt faced six hours of questions on his handling of the bid.
