Boris Johnson on Monday to express "great regret" for previously reassuring him that the initial inquiiy into phone hacking had been "thorough",

Giving evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee in light of the fast moving events of last week, Yates expressed the regret he felt at the way those affected were handled under Iris watch, and for ruling that there was no need to reopen the phonerhacking investigation in 2009. But he insisted this was "not a resignation matter” and that he intended to continue in his job. Asked by the chair of the committee, Keith, Vaz if he had considered his position, Yates told him: "No I haven't offered to resign. If you are suggesting that I should resign for what News of the World has done, I think that is probably unfair."

Doocey, who is the libDems' city hall spokeswoman on policing, pubhshed information secured under a Freedom of Information request which showed Yates had five lunches with staff from the News International stable: three with newspaper, in August 2008, Januaiy 2009 and March 2009, one with in 2009, and one in November that year with the editor and crime editor of News of the World.

Doocey called on him to quit: "It is shameful that John Yates found time to have five lunches with the News of the World and News International, but after just a few hours decided there was no additional evidence to justify a further investigation into phone hacldng.

"John Yates has failed literally hundreds of victims of phone hacking. While he remains in post as Assistant Commissioner of the Met its reputation wiU not recover.He must take responsibility for this pitiful review and accept that he has lost ah credibilily. It is time for him to go."

The data that Doocey obtained is below. What can you do with it?
