In evidence to MPs on the committee two years ago and in 2007 NI executives said phone hacking was the work of a single journalist, former royal editor Clive Goodman. It has emerged since then that the practice was more widespread.

Pike also told MPs that former News of the World editor Colin Myler had met with James Murdoch, who is now deputy chief operation officer of News Corp, in May 2008 to discuss a phone-hacking claim brought by Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association.

It is the first time that a second meeting to discuss a possible payment to Taylor has been referred to.

MPs were told in July that Myler and Tom Crone, the News of the World's former head of legal, met with Murdoch on June 10 2008, after which Murdoch authorised a payment to Taylor of £425,000 plus costs to settle the claim.

But Pike said Myler also met James Murdoch on 27 May 2008 after fresh evidence had emerged in the Taylor case that suggested hacking at the News of the World went beyond Goodman.
