1432: Iain Watson Political correspondent, BBC News

Quote:
At a hearing of the culture select committee back in 2003, Rebekah Wade, now Brooks, told MPs "we have paid the police for information in the past". The News of the World operated "within the code and the law". But today the attorney general, apparently wracking his brains, indicated he couldn't think of circumstances where paying the police would be within the law.
Of course not - it immediately jeopardises their alleged impartiality .....
