8. Why did News International not "mitigate" the payments to Mr Coulson after he starting receiving a salary from the Conservative party, as is often the case when former employees start new jobs?

10. Several of the key names in the Goodman letter are redacted. Who are they?
"The decision is perverse in that the actions leading to this criminal charge were carried out with the full knowledge and support of [redacted]. Payment for Glen (sic) Mulcaire's services was arranged by [redacted].
"The decision is inconsistent, because [redacted] and other members of staff were carrying out the same illegal procedures."
