MINISTER WITHOUT PORTFOLIO May 2010 – July 2011 Meetings with proprietors, editors and senior media executives This list sets out the Minister without Portfolio’s meetings with senior media executives for the period May 2010-July 2011. This includes all meetings with proprietors, senior executives and editors of media organisations for both newspapers and broadcast media. It does not include those meetings with journalists that ended up in interviews that appeared in the public domain, either in newspapers and magazines. It may also exclude some larger social events at which senior media executives may have been present. This is the fullest possible list assembled from the Minister without Portfolio’s diary and memory. Every effort has been taken to ensure that this is as accurate as possible but the nature of such an extensive exercise means something may have inadvertently got missed.

These are two partially matching applications relating to some of the claims made against the defendant (NGN) alleging phone hacking and other unlawful activities in relation to several claimants, though the impact of the applications is capable of being felt in an unknown number of cases which might be launched in the future. Putting the matter shortly, the position is as follows. Like many other claimants before them, 4 claimants seek to make claims about such activities against NGN as proprietor of the former News of the World newspaper. There is no problem about that in these applications, though I have previously ruled on whether they are entitled to plead the full extent of wrongdoing that they sought to rely on. They also seek to make claims against the Sun newspaper, of which NGN is also the proprietor.

Further Submission
Dear Sir/Madam In the previous phase of the CMA Inquiry we drew your attention to the developments in the claims against News Group Newspapers (NGN) in the managed phone hacking litigation (MTVIL). NGN is owned by News UK a subsidiary of News Corp which is controlled by the Murdoch Family Trust (MFT). There is no doubt that a cover-up of wrongdoing by News Corp would impact on the “genuine commitment” standard. We explained that not only were claimants alleging phone hacking at the news of the World but that the court was considering claims of voicemail interception and other unlawful information gathering at the Sun newspaper. We also explained that the court was considering extensive allegations pf concealment and destruction of evidence by senior executives at News International and that this included James Murdoch. We urged you to obtain the court papers relating to this litigation – in particular the pleadings which we believed had been entered and were thus available to third parties to access. There was no indication in your Phase 1 Report that you had even seen these papers let alone considered them. I have now obtained the pleadings in this litigation as they relate to the serious allegations against News International, James Murdoch, Rebekah Brooks and others. I attach them. They are (1) The Claimants’ (amended) Particulars of Concealment and Destruction (2) The (re-amended) Defence to the amended Particulars of Concealment and Destruction Inspection of these documents show them to be highly relevant to your inquiry, and to the relevant theory of harms therein.
