It quotes him as telling the Evening Standard:
"It is important now that all those who were clearly the subject of criminal activity help to get to the bottom of what happened during this dark period in British journalism."

I well remember the horrible front-page splash of 'The Sun' about Simon Hughes' private life and the weird quote from Trevor Kavanagh about having "pretty introvertable evidence" that Hughes had been phoning chat-lines. Well, I guess now we know where they got that information and I hope Simon takes them to the cleaners!
Should your post heading not read "Simon Hughes to sue..."?
