Harriet Harman: Jeremy Hunt 'colluded with News Corp'

Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt sought "private advice" from News Corporation over phone hacking, an email given to the Leveson Inquiry has suggested.

The previously unseen email, sent to ex-News International boss Rebekah Brooks by the firm's PR chief Frederic Michel, says Mr Hunt wanted "guidance".

Mr Hunt's spokeswoman said the claim was "inaccurate", but Shadow Culture Secretary Harriet Harman called it collusion, adding he was "not fit to be doing his job".
