Hacking Probe: Piers Morgan Questioned Again

Scotland Yard detectives have questioned former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan for a second time in connection with claims of phone hacking.

Mr Morgan was previously interviewed under caution in 2013 by officers looking into allegations of interception of voicemails by Mirror Group journalists.

He tweeted earlier: "No, I wasn't arrested. Sorry to disappoint everyone."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "A 50-year-old man was interviewed under caution on April 21 2015 by officers from Operation Golding in connection with suspected conspiracy to intercept telephone voicemails.

"He was interviewed by appointment. He was not arrested."

Mr Morgan, who has consistently denied involvement in phone hacking, said in a statement: "Some time ago I was asked to attend an interview with officers from Operation Golding when I was next in the UK.

"This was further to a previous voluntary interview I provided in December 2013.

"I attended that interview today.

"As this is an ongoing investigation, I am unable to comment further until its conclusion."
