Phone hacking: IT 'deleted Murdoch hacking email' [View all]
A 2008 email informing James Murdoch of the potential scope of phone hacking at the News of the World was deleted in an IT upgrade last year, lawyers say.
The Commons media committee has released a letter from law firm Linklaters detailing how the email was lost and thus not provided in evidence.
The email chain, released in December, mentions claims that phone hacking was "rife" at News International.
Mr Murdoch says he only read the final email, requesting a meeting with him.
