Probe calls over phone hacking move
Updated on 10 July 2009
The independent police watchdog is facing calls to investigate Scotland Yard's decision not to re-open the inquiry into alleged phone hacking by News of the World journalists.
Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne submitted a formal request to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) to mount an inquiry, saying there had been a potential "neglect of duty" by the Metropolitan Police.
It follows the announcement on Thursday by Assistant Commissioner John Yates that the Met would not be investigating fresh claims by The Guardian that hundreds of public figures had their phones hacked.
