Conservative leader David Cameron has insisted Andy Coulson's job as his communications director is safe.
Senior Labour and Lib Dems figures have said he should be fired after revelations about phone messages being intercepted by the News of the World.
The Guardian alleges up to 3,000 high profile figures - including ex-deputy PM John Prescott - were targeted by the paper Mr Coulson edited until 2007.
Asked if Mr Coulson's job was safe, Mr Cameron said: "Yes, of course."
Mr Cameron sought to make a distinction between what Mr Coulson may have done in the past and what he does now for the Conservative Party.
