A letter from former royal editor Clive Goodman, who was jailed for phone hacking, alleges that senior figures at News of the World knew about the practice and that he was promised his job back if he didn't implicate the paper in court. The letter claims that hacking was "widely discussed" at the paper and that Goodman had been promised his job back by Tom Crone and Andy Coulson. A separate submission from James Murdoch, News Corp's deputy chief executive, revealed that £243,502 was paid to Goodman in relation to his claim of unfair dismissal.
