Hacking on an industrial scale - what a coverup

A Commons home affairs committee report praised Ms Akers' decision that all potential victims of phone hacking by the News of the World should be contacted.

But the MPs said they were "alarmed" only 170 people had so far been informed and noted that "up to 12,800 people may have been affected".

It said that unless more staff were employed on the operation it could be a decade before all the thousands of possible victims were informed.

MPs had called on the government to provide more funds for the police investigation.

They warned that if it dragged on it would "seriously delay" the start of Lord Justice Leveson's public inquiry announced by David Cameron.
