Andy Coulson

David Cameron's former communications chief, Andy Coulson, is detained on suspicion of committing perjury during the Tommy Sheridan trial, the Crown Office says.

Andy Coulson attended meetings of the National Security Council as David Cameron's director of communications when he was not vetted and "may have" had unsupervised access to top secret documents.

The Metropolitan Police tell the Leveson inquiry that the voicemail of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler was hacked by the News of the World, but cannot say if her messages were deleted by journalists.

In his most comprehensive interview since his arrest, former News of the World chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck tells Andy Davies he was a "coward" for not telling Rebekah Brooks about phone hacking.

Former deputy prime minister John Prescott and actor Jude Law are among several public figures who have settled damages claims in connection with News of the World phone hacking.

Prime Minister David Cameron will attend the Leveson Inquiry into press standards if summoned to give evidence, Number 10 has said.

Steve Coogan tells the Leveson inquiry he believes it is his vocation to be a comedian and that he has never used the press to exploit fame for his own ends.
