Version 0 of 1.

• When George Osborne approached Andy Coulson about the Conservative director of communications job in 2007 did they discuss how the Tories could win the support of Murdoch titles including the Sun?

• David Cameron has said he sought "some specific assurances [from Coulson] but also some general assurances" before hiring him. What were these assurances?

• Did Coulson explore whether it would be possible for private donors to "top up" his salary when he had to take a substantial pay cut to £140,000 on entering Downing Street?

• With whom did he discuss his level of security clearance upon, or before, entering Downing Street and why does he believe he was subjected to a less rigorous level of vetting than most modern predecessors as well as his successor and Lib Dem counterpart? Was he asked any questions as part of his vetting either before joining the party or entering Downing Street?

• Did Cameron or his officials question him about further allegations that he presided over illegal practices at the News of the World which emerged after he entered Downing Street?
