Surrey Police knew that a number of people from the News of the World had hacked Milly Dowler's phone, and used info from it to interfere with the investigation within a month of her disappearance in 2002, yet didn't do anything about it.
The police actually had meetings with NoW staff to discuss this.
This was announced by the Culture Media and Sport Committee who appear more concerned about the NoW's undoubted wrong-doing than any fault of the police for failing to charge NoW staff with serious crimes.
One of Surrey's officers has been investigated by the IPCC about taking payments from the NoW and the findings are to be released soon.
I agree with Mark Lewis, the Dowlers' lawyer, that this 'has to be investigated'.
While the investigators are at it they might ask about Surrey's inquiry which allegedly included a phone operator apparently failing to pass on information from a witness whose daughter had been approached by a man fitting Levi Bellfield's description in the relevant area and who called the day after the force issued an appeal for information about Milly.
A Surrey officer also claimed to have called at Bellfield's house several times but never got a reply and left it at that.
It wouldn't have saved Milly but it might have saved the other girls Bellfield murdered after her.
