Pressure is growing on News International after the prime minister joined in condemnation of the News of the World over the hacking of Milly Dowler's phone.
David Cameron said it was a "truly dreadful act" and urged police to "pursue this in the most vigorous way".
Labour MP Tom Watson called on Monday for the prime minister to act over the phone hacking, but also laid some of the blame on his own party leader.
"Surely now we should hear from David Cameron and Ed Miliband," Watson said. "It's utterly disgraceful that they've let this scandal run on for as long as it has. No more cowardice – we want action."
Miliband later said "The government has behaved in a reckless and provocative manner. It is time for both sides set aside the rhetoric and get around the negotiating table to make sure this doesn't happen again. The strikes are wrong."
