Mark Lewis describes 'Eureka moment' to Leveson Inquiry

A solicitor who represents victims of phone hacking has spoken of a "Eureka moment", at the Leveson Inquiry into press standards.

Mark Lewis said the News of the World wanted to publish a photo of a woman, Joanne Armstrong, having lunch with the head of the Professional Football Association, Gordon Taylor.

Mr Lewis said it was only after he managed to block the publication of the photo that he realised that the only way the paper could have got the story was through phone hacking.
