Committee Chair Rt Hon Keith Vaz MP said:
"The allegations revealed this week are extremely shocking. It is now essential that we uncover who knew what at which point in time at both the Metropolitan Police.
The committee will be raising these issues with police officers involved in the current and previous investigations. We will also seek to clarify why a significant variance of action was taken by mobile phone companies in the aftermath of the phone hacking revelations."
