Tom Watson, the Labour MP who has been investigating allegations of phone hacking at The News of the World, tells Labour conference that Rupert Murdoch is "certainly not a fit and proper person to chair a major broadcaster".
Mr Watson, who is opposed to Rupert Murdoch's bid to increase his company's stake in BSkyB, warned more revelations of phone hacking at other News International publications were likely.
"Do you really think that hacking only happened on the News of the World? Ask Dominic Mohan, the current editor of the Sun. He used to joke about lax security at Vodafone when he attended celebrity parties. Ask the editor of the Sun if he thinks Rupert Murdoch's contagion has spread to other newspapers. If he gives you an honest answer, he'll tell you it's only a matter of time before we find the Sun in the evidence file of the convicted private investigator that hacked Milly Dowler's phone," Mr Watson said.
