The family of murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler will press for “stronger, clearer and faster action” from the British government over phone hacking in meetings this week with senior politicians.
Milly's parents Bob and Sally Dowler are suing the News of the World over claims their daughter's phone was targeted by the newspaper when she went missing in 2002.
Her mother and sister Gemma will be among victims and campaigners meeting deputy prime minister Nick Clegg tomorrow in an effort to secure a sufficiently comprehensive inquiry.
Talks will be held later in the week with prime minister David Cameron, Downing Street said after being forced to withdraw an earlier announcement that the premier would be involved tomorrow as well.
And the Media Standards Trust, which has led a major campaign on the issue and has organised the meetings, said it was also arranging a session with Labour leader Ed Miliband.
News that Milly's phone was among those targeted kicked off a wave of public outrage, fuelled by reports that terror victims' families also had their messages hacked, which resulted in the Sunday newspaper's closure and the announcement by Mr Cameron of a judge-led inquiry into the scandal.
