Murdoch, who oversees News International as deputy chief operating officer of News Corporation, will face fresh questions about whether he knew that phone-hacking at the News of the World went wider than one "rogue reporter".

The date of his appearance has not yet been finalised, but it is understood that he could appear in November.

Murdoch insists he was not told about the existence of an email sent by a News of the World reporter marked "for Neville", which is understood to have been a reference to Neville Thurlbeck, who was the paper's chief reporter. That suggested phone hacking was not the work of a single reporter, as the company claimed until recently.

Colin Myler, the former editor of the paper, and Tom Crone, its head of legal, told MPs last week that they told Murdoch about the email and said that is why he approved an out-of-court settlement of £700,000 including costs to Gordon Taylor, the former chief executive of the PFA.
