| The prime minister has backed Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt amid calls for him to resign over his department's relationship with News Corp during its bid to take full control of BSkyB. | |
| At the last hearing before a week's adjournment on 31 May, Mr Hunt faced six hours of questions on his handling of the bid. | |
| He accepted that friendly messages he exchanged with News Corp's James Murdoch while he was responsible for deciding on the BSkyB issue were, with hindsight, inappropriate. | |
| But following his evidence, Mr Cameron decided not to order an investigation into whether the culture secretary had breached the ministerial code of conduct. | |
| The PM said Mr Hunt had acted "properly" throughout the period when he was responsible for the bid. |
