Select Committee report adds new urgency to Ofcom's review of News Corporation - Harman

Harriet Harman MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, responding to the publication of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee report on News International and Phone-hacking, said:

“The findings of today's Select Committee report add new urgency and importance to Ofcom's current review of whether News Corporation is "fit and proper" to hold a broadcasting licence.

“When you hold a broadcasting licence you are in a position of power and with that must come responsibility.  I have no doubt that Ofcom will examine today's findings with the utmost seriousness.”
