Piers Morgan denies phone-hacking claim

Piers Morgan, a former editor of the News of the World, has denied any link to the phone-hacking scandal.

During questioning of the Murdochs, a Conservative member of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, Louise Mensch, claimed that his autobiography referred to the use of hacking.

Mr Morgan, who is now a chat show host in the US, rebuked the claims and demanded an apology.
