Following the Prime Minister's statement about the public inquiry into the phone hacking scandal, Harriett Baldwin calls for evidence to be heard from former Deputy Communications Director to Tony Blair, Lance Price who commented that he sometimes felt as though Rupert Murdoch was the 24th member of the Cabinet. Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con): Will the inquiry be able to take evidence from Mr Lance Price who used to work at Downing street and who said in 2006 that when he worked there he sometimes felt as though Rupert Murdoch was the 24th member of the Cabinet? The Prime Minister: I am sure that Lance Price will be available. I have to say that the book he wrote about the last Government was one of the most depressing things I have ever read. | Hansard
