Priti Patel has been accused in parliament of seeking to block or redact an independent report into the murder of a private detective as part of a potential âcover upâ to protect friends in Rupert Murdochâs media empire.
Labour MP Chris Bryant, who secured an urgent question into the home secretaryâs decision to vet the report into Daniel Morganâs 1987 killing, said there were concerns that âvery close friends in News International might want to delay or even prevent this publicationâ.
Responding to Bryant, Home Office minister Victoria Atkins insisted Patel wanted the report published as soon as possible but that she was obliged to first check it for any national security concerns.
