MPs will debate the findings of the select committee report into phone hacking tomorrow, Commons Speaker John Bercow has announced.

The Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee accused News of the World editor Colin Myler, the paper's former legal manager Tom Crone and former News International chairman Les Hinton of misleading it in their evidence.

Mr Bercow gave permission for committee chairman John Whittingdale to table a motion for debate tomorrow, which could pave the way for parliamentary sanctions against the three.

In a short statement, the Speaker said Mr Whittingdale had written to him "concerning the conclusions of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee" in its report on phone hacking
