Phone hacking: News of the World executives to appear before Parliament

A source on the committee told the Independent: "We will probably recall Colin Myler and Tom Crone to give evidence again."

It also emerged that Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, discussed the possibility of Rupert Murdoch sponsoring one of the government's flagship academies during a meeting with the media mogul.

Mr Gove, a former journalist for The Times, Murdoch paper, has met his former employer six times since taking office, more than any other Cabinet minister.

Nothing appears to have come of the discussion and News Corp has not announced any plans to sponsor an academy.

The revelation came as the phone hacking scandal threatened to spread beyond News International to Trinity Mirror, which owns the Daily Mirror and the Sunday Mirror.

Piers Morgan, the former editor of the Daily Mirror, faced allegations that his paper printed stories based on voicemails intercepted from Ulrika Jonsson's and Heather Mills's voicemails.

Mr Morgan has consistently denied that he knew about phone hacking or had ever authorised it and yesterday described critics as "lying smearers".
