Culture, Media and Sport CommitteeWritten evidence submitted by DLA Piper UK LLP

Thank you for your letter of 16 August 2011 to our client, Mr Coulson.

We have expressed our concerns to you previously about the effects of the parallel inquiries and investigations and the publicity generated by them. Given those concerns and in the circumstances, our client does not wish to make any additional comments on the evidence he gave to the Committee.
