Cameron, who has enjoyed a close social friendship with some top Murdoch executives, took action after his predecessor, former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, gave an emotional televised interview Tuesday describing how Murdoch journalists with ties to the criminal underworld grossly invaded his family's privacy.
Brown told BBC Newsthat Murdoch's papers, including the Sun and the Sunday Times, had obtained his confidential bank accounts, tax records and even health information about his son, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, using fraudulent, criminal means.
