Met’s cosy relationship with News of the World goes to the heart of the problem over phone hacking allegations

Lib Dem Dee Doocey, the Liberal Democrat London Assembly policing spokesperson and member of the Metropolitan Police Authority, commenting on the latest developments over phone hacking said:

"We know that during the time the then Met Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman was investigating alleged criminal allegations against the News of the World he had lunches and dinners with News of the World executives."

She added: "And during the time that John Yates was re-investigating the alleged criminal allegations against the News of the World he too had lunches and dinners with News of the World and executives of News International. Such a cosy relationship between the News of the World, News International and senior Met police officers who were leading an inquiry into the News of the World  phone hacking allegations goes to the very heart of the problems that have arisen."
