Hugh Grant presses phone hacking issue at Lib Dem conference

Help

Actor Hugh Grant has taken part in a fringe event at the Liberal Democrat conference on phone hacking.

He told reporters at the Hacked Off event in Birmingham that he was attending party conferences to ensure that politicians kept their word and remained committed in trying to tackle the issue.

He criticised the tabloid press over invasion of privacy and explained why it was a "myth" that all celebrities courted publicity.
