Murdoch says when executives told him that staff involved with phone hacking would probably win unfair dismissal cases, Murdoch was only told to settle and how much it would cost. He was never told why they had a case - because they had provided stories based on hacked phones - and Murdoch didn't ask

He claims running a massive company like News Corp means it is impossible for someone in his position to know all the details.

He tells MPs that Myler and Crone have been "economical" in their evidence.

He also tries to shift the blame to the police , saying they had possession of crucial evidence and did nothing.

He says he regrets News International being so robust in earlier defences against hacking allegations

He refuses to rule out closing The Sun if it turns out hacking has taken place at the newspaper.

Murdoch handled the session calmly, only becoming irritable when called a "Mafia Boss" by Tom Watson. In general MPs have listened with a high level of scepticism to the evidence, but there was no knockout blow. ]]> http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#65_committee-is-wrapping-up 2011-11-10T08:37:38-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#64_-i-wont-rule-out-shutting-the-sun-if-hacking-happened-there- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#64_-i-wont-rule-out-shutting-the-sun-if-hacking-happened-there- 2011-11-10T08:19:26-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#63_steve-rotherham-is-veering-onto-hillsborough http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#63_steve-rotherham-is-veering-onto-hillsborough 2011-11-10T08:16:41-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#62_tom-watson-veering-onto-email-hacking-told-to-stop-by-whittingdale- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#62_tom-watson-veering-onto-email-hacking-told-to-stop-by-whittingdale- 2011-11-10T08:11:31-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#61_-i-didnt-know-identities-of-other-private-investigators- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#61_-i-didnt-know-identities-of-other-private-investigators- 2011-11-10T08:10:00-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#60_watson-again http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#60_watson-again 2011-11-10T08:05:22-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#59_will-he-expose-every-nefarious-practice http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#59_will-he-expose-every-nefarious-practice 2011-11-10T08:05:26-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#58_wont-be-drawn-on-if-other-news-international-titles-hacked-phones- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#58_wont-be-drawn-on-if-other-news-international-titles-hacked-phones- 2011-11-10T07:54:26-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#57_either-murdoch-is-not-being-truthful-or-myler-crone-arent http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#57_either-murdoch-is-not-being-truthful-or-myler-crone-arent 2011-11-10T07:48:56-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#56_the-final-edition-of-the-news-of-the-world http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#56_the-final-edition-of-the-news-of-the-world 2011-11-10T07:44:16-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#55_-i-dont-believe-i-asked-who-else-glenn-mulcaire-hacked- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#55_-i-dont-believe-i-asked-who-else-glenn-mulcaire-hacked- 2011-11-10T07:35:35-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#54_murdoch-doesnt-even-know-his-own-job-title- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#54_murdoch-doesnt-even-know-his-own-job-title- 2011-11-10T07:31:33-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#53_some-of-james-murdochs-body-language- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#53_some-of-james-murdochs-body-language- 2011-11-10T07:27:03-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#52_all-a-bit-cavalier http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#52_all-a-bit-cavalier 2011-11-10T07:16:30-05:00 Huffingtonpost.com http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2011/11/10/murdoch-before-mps-culture-committee_n_1085465.html#51_why-neville-is-trending-on-twitter Not for phone hacking.
