David Cameron's five secret meetings with Rupert Murdoch

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/leveson-inquiry/9227491/David-Camerons-five-secret-meetings-with-Rupert-Murdoch.html

Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday night disclosed that he had met the Prime Minister on at least five more occasions than David Cameron has previously admitted.

The chairman and chief executive of News Corporation provided details of diary entries to the Leveson Inquiry which showed that the two men had met on at least seven occasions since Mr Cameron became Prime Minister.

Downing Street has previously acknowledged only that the Prime Minister had met the media tycoon twice since May 2010 and the contents of Mr Murdoch’s diary will add to concerns about Mr Cameron’s relationship with News Corporation executives.

In the wake of the phone hacking scandal, the Prime Minister published details of his meetings with media executives and editors. In the House of Commons, he pledged to MPs that “every contact” had been made public.
