James Murdoch is to go back before MPs to face further questioning over phone hacking

James Murdoch is to face more questions from MPs investigating the News of the World (NoW) phone-hacking scandal.

Culture committee chairman John Whittingdale said he was recalling News International’s chairman to give more evidence.

It comes after MPs heard conflicting evidence over how much Mr Murdoch knew about the practice at the NoW.

Separately, it has emerged the mother of a 7/7 bombing victim is to pursue a civil case against News International.

The case of Sheila Henry, whose son, Christian Small, was killed in the 2005 Russell Square explosion, will be one of six test cases for civil damages claims against News Group Newspapers over phone-hacking claims.

At the High Court, Lord Justice Vos has been considering applications from a number of alleged phone-hacking victims to decide whose will be heard as test cases in the new year.

Actor Jude Law, MP Chris Bryant, interior designer Kelly Hoppen, sports agent Sky Andrew and ex-footballer Paul Gascoigne are also bringing cases.

The court also heard new information had been found at News International.

Scotland Yard is currently investigating claims that reporters for the company’s newspapers hacked into the messages of celebrities and public figures between 2005 and 2006.
