JACK Straw is set to provide a dossier of mobile numbers and email addresses as part of the investigation into phone hacking by national newspapers.

Met police officers have launched an inquiry into whether the Blackburn MP was hacked in 1997 and 1998 when he was Home Secretary.

Mr Straw said he wrote to Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson, the Bacup-born former Lancashire Chief Constable, after it was reported he had been targeted by a private detective working for a national newspaper.

It is not believed to involve Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator who was jailed for phone hacking while working for the News of the World.

Mr Straw told the Lancashire Telegraph: “I have been asked to provide a full list of all telephone numbers, mobile numbers and email address I was using at that time, along with any of those used by members of my family that I think may be relevant.

“After the concerns were first raised in June that I may have been targeted by phone hacking I wrote to Mr Stephenson.

"I said to him that the allegations fitted in with what was happening with me in the national press at the time.

“One of the officers has now been in contact explaining that in order to progress the inquiry they need my details.

“It would not surprise me at all if my phone or computer had been hacked, or at least that it had been tried.

Asked whether he would follow a string of public figures who have taken legal action over the phone hacking saga, Mr Straw said: “I will have to see.

"I need to find out first what they have on me.”
