A copy of the Goodman letter previously provided to a parliamentary committee was altered to remove the key paragraphs on the secret deal and the suggestion that Mr Coulson was aware of phone hacking, MPs disclosed. The full letter only emerged because a version without the redactions was provided to Harbottle & Lewis, a law firm previously employed by News International. The Commons culture and media select committee yesterday ordered several former News of the World executives to appear before MPs next month to clarify their previous evidence. MPs were also expected to recall James Murdoch.
