Former Shrewsbury MP in phone hacking claim

A former Shropshire MP today revealed he is pursuing legal action against a reporter at the Daily Mirror over allegations of phone hacking.

Paul Marsden believes he may have been a victim of the practice in 2003.

"We have started those legal inquiries with a specific journalist and also the Mirror Group," said Mr Marsden. "If it turns out to be true I would like it exposed in a court of law. I want to know the truth."
