Cameron Cuts Short Trip to Address Parliament
Parliament will discuss the hacking scandal on Wednesday
Prime Minister David Cameron prematurely ended a trip to Africa on Monday and ordered a special Parliamentary session to address the News International hacking scandal, just after the arrest of former CEO Rebekah Brooks and resignation of Metropolitan Police chief Sir Paul Stephenson.
Cameron said that Parliament would have to be extended beyond the start of its scheduled summer recess for an emergency session on Wednesday — the day after Rupert and James Murdoch are scheduled to give testimony — adding that he will address Parliament personally, in order to “answer any questions that may arise” and so that he can “make a further statement.”
