The former Culture secretary says that both OfCom and Vince Cable thought he BSkyB bid should be referred to the Competition Commission.

Hunt is reminding MPs that there is no paper trail leading to him from News International. Now he is blaming Labour for having done nothing about press governance.

Jeremy Hunt is now claiming that he took four decisions which "went against what News Corp wanted". Including checking the bids status with OfCom.

He says that while he had expressed sympathy for the Murdoch bid before he was made responsible for judging on it, he became genuinely impartial once it was handed to him from Vince Cable.

...at the end of her speech to the Commons

Hunt is now responding, saying he deplores Harriet Harman's fail our to rise above party politics.

Hunt is struggling to be heard, and the Speaker is now telling Hunt off for straying from the issues at hand, in attacking Labour for failing to show humility.

She says under 3.3 of the Ministerial Code Hunt is accountable for Adam Smith.

"He was not judging this bid, he was backing this bid, and he should resign."

She says there was a great deal of transparency for Murdoch but none for opponents of the bid or the House of Commons.

She says Hunt was acting "like a judge" in a quasi judicial role. She suggests that James Murdoch was given an unfair advantage.

"is he really going to suggest to this house that James Murdoch's adviser knew all this was a co-incidence?"

That's the end of his short statement. Harriet Harman now responding for Labour.

Hunt says he believes Adam Smith is a man of "integrity and decency" and claims his in appropriate texts to the News International were inadvertent.

The Culture Secretary says he has strictly followed protocol and has published details of all the meetings he held in connection with BSkyB's buy-out.

Hunt says the texts from his Special Adviser "alleged to show... a back channel" but this is absolutely not the case.

Says he will respond fully before Leveson, but for now he insists it is too soon to pass political comment. We must wait for Leveson's report, he says.

Cameron is asked if he agrees that he is an "arrogant posh boy"?

"I agree with the honourable member for Mid-Bedfordshire (Nadine Dorries) about many, many things," he says.

We can assume that is not one of them.

This following Cameron's claim that Hunt has his "full support". They love it.

Miliband says: "It beggars belief that the pm can defend the culture secretary he wasn't judging this bid he was helping the bid by News Corporation."
