The editor of the Sun has been accused of trying to "warn off" an MP against investigating claims of sexual harassment and bullying at the paper. Labour MP Clive Soley told MPs a letter sent to him by Sun editor Rebekah Wade had amounted to a "threat".

It came after he looked into allegations against Stuart Higgins, the newspaper's editor from 1994 to 1998.

"Recently I received an unsolicited copy of a letter to News International lawyers from a firm representing a victim of serious sexual harassment. The allegations had been made against Stuart Higgins, one-time editor of the Sun newspaper.

As far as I am aware no proper disciplinary hearings took place and other senior staff appear to have colluded with what was, by any standard, extremely offensive and destructive behaviour."
