James Murdoch has refused to rule out closing the Sun if allegations of phone hacking at the title are proven.

Speaking at his second appearance before MPs at the culture, media and sport select committee this morning, Murdoch was asked by Steve Rotherham MP: “If it’s revealed that the Sun does appear in the Mulcaire file, will you close the paper like you did the News of the World?”

Murdoch replied: “I think it’s important not to prejudge the outcome of any of the investigations. I don’t think we can rule out any corporate reaction to behaviour or wrongdoing.”
