Phone Hacking allegedly used in all of the 'Murdoch press'

John Prescott used his Parliamentary privilege to accuse the Murdoch press of carrying out phone hacking within more than one of its newspapers. News International, the group owned by Rupert Murdoch, is in charge of The Sun, The News of the World, The Times and The Sunday Times.

"It is a number of papers owned by the Murdoch press and a number of employees who have been involved in withholding evidence and [hacking into phones]," The former Deputy Prime Minister said today during a House of Lords debate regarding Murdoch's takeover of BskyB.

Because this was said in parliament, John Prescott has no fears of sparking a Libel lawsuit. Parliamentary Privilege means that what people say in parliament is protected from libel laws.

News International has denied that any of their publications, except the News of the World are under investigation.
