Cameron and Hunt

Is this the key question that won't be asked? If Hunt believed that allowing the Murdoch bid was in the best interests of the country how could he find against? What ever the independent advice surely he would have ruled that the bid should go ahead in the countries interest.

We will never know since the row about phone hacking forced the Murdochs to withdraw the bid. In view of this Cameron knew that Hunt would do the right thing by the Murdochs and that is why he gave the job to Hunt. When the flack came of course Cameron would blame Hunt, but only after the deed was done!
