Phone hacking: IPCC oversees police payments inquiry

The investigation into claims officers were paid by the News of the World will be overseen by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).

The watchdog's deputy chairwoman Deborah Glass said she would personally supervise the "robust" inquiry to give "independent oversight".
The Met said it had formally referred documents from the tabloid's publisher News International to the IPCC.
Newspaper reports claim several people are likely to be arrested within days.
