<p>Police have launched a fresh inquiry into the phone hacking controversy after receiving &#8220;significant new information&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Metropolitan Police said detectives had received a dossier of evidence about suspicious activities at the News of the World in 2005 and 2006, and a new team would carry out the inquiry.</p>
<p>The decision was made after the newspaper handed over material gathered during an internal investigation into its assistant editor (news) Ian Edmondson.</p>
<p>The newspaper, whose owner Rupert Murdoch was reportedly in London this week, said Mr Edmondson was sacked as a result of the investigation.</p>
<p>Mr Edmondson was suspended from duty in December after he was linked to the scandal in documents relating to legal action by actress Sienna Miller lodged at the High Court.</p>
<p>Revealing the new probe, a police spokesman said on Wednesday: &#8220;The Met has today received significant new information relating to allegations of phone hacking at the News of the World in 2005/06. As a result, the Met is launching a new investigation to consider this material.</p>
<p>&#8220;This work will be carried out by the specialist crime directorate which has been investigating a related phone hacking allegation since September 2010.&#8221;</p>
<p>The new inquiry is one of the most significant developments in the controversy since the News of the World&#8217;s royal editor was imprisoned in 2007.</p>
<p>Clive Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire were jailed at the Old Bailey after they admitted intercepting messages.</p>
<p>The pair used mobile phone numbers and secret codes to hack into voicemails of celebrities and other high profile people.</p>
