Written evidence submitted by the Metropolitan Police Service

  I acknowledge receipt of your letter sent to Sir Paul Stephenson on 9 July 2009 requesting written evidence regarding News International and the tapping of telephones. The attached report deals with your request, which provides an overview of the history to this case and subsequent actions taken.

  I wish you to be aware that the Commissioner has also been asked by Keith Vaz MP, on behalf of the Home Affairs Committee to provide responses to specific questions in relation to the same matter. Therefore, I have also provided his office with a copy of the same report. In addition, the report has also been provided to the Home Secretary's private office and the Chief Executive of the Metropolitan Police Authority.

  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.

July 2009
