14.41 Mary Ann Sieghart tweets Will someone please ask Boris whether he still thinks #hacking is a load of codswallop?
Telegraph Live stream:
14.51 Reporters repeatedly challenging Boris Johnson over dismissing the hacking scandal as "codswallop" in September 2010. He insists he made the decision on the information he saw then. He is asked to apologise for mocking those who pursued the matter and refuses.
14.54 Boris Johnson appears to have lost his temper at a question from Jon Snow, answers in raised voice. Starting to look more flustered than usual; fiddles with his tie. And to another question - "Come on, be fair".
Finally, challenged again on dismissing hacking as codswallop, says: "I misunderstood the severity of the allegations." Blames poor information he was given.
