Jack Straw, former foreign secretary to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, testified at a hearing on allegations of illegal phone hacking by News Corporation employees. This hearing focused on the relationships between politicians and the press.

Prime Minister David Cameron appointed Lord Justice Leveson on July 13, 2011, to investigate the role of the press and police in the phone-hacking scandal surrounding the defunct British newspaper News of the World.
