Jeremy Hunt at the Leveson Inquiry - LIVE

Beleaguered Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt was today appearing before the Leveson Inquiry in what was expected to be a day of drama.

Mr Hunt was being quizzed on what contact he authorised between his special advisor Adam Smith and Fred Michel, the head of public affairs for News Corporation in Europe.

He was also due to be probed about whether he was the right person to decide whether Rupert Murdoch's firm should be allowed to take over BSkyB.
