John Prescott may seek judicial review of phone hack claims
Lord Prescott has said he is prepared to take legal action to find out whether News of The World journalists hacked into his phone messages.
The ex-deputy prime minister said he would seek a judicial review if the police did not say whether claims his phone had been tapped were true.
The paper's royal editor was jailed for conspiracy to access messages in 2007.
The paper said that was an isolated case, but suspended a reporter earlier this year pending an investigation.
