News International settles hacking cases
News International has settled 19 phone hacking cases, costing the company in the region of £10m.
Despite the settlements, the company has refused to confirm or deny allegations against them by some 58 claimants. Amongst those who have been given money are Chris Bryant, who received £30,000 John Prescott, who agreed to a settlement of £40,000 plus costs.
In the company's High Court apology they also admitted to hacking emails, opening a new chapter in the scandal.
Chris Bryant defended 'no win, no fee' legal services, telling the BBC that they were helpful to people looking to sue large corporations or media groups. He admitted it would be "perfectly legitimate" to deal with issues surrounding no win, no fee cases but that they should not be scrapped altogether.

And yet at least eight MPs that I am aware of have now been shown evidence that has been in police possession since 2006 that shows precisely that."

Chris Bryant, the Shadow Immigration Minister, said that the numbers betrayed a "shocking failure at the heart of this Tory-led Government". Keith Vaz, Chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said cases weren't being dealt with "quickly and efficiently and expeditiously", but admitted the agency's problems had begun under Labour.
