The Daily Mail says members of the committee were divided about how much James Murdoch was to blame.
Energy bonusesThe Sun is angry that as fuel bills have soared over the past two years the energy watchdog, Ofgem, has paid its staff more than £1m in bonuses.
The figure's been obtained through a parliamentary question by the shadow energy minister Caroline Flint.

In its leader column, the Sun accuses Ofgem of being "toothless" and calls the bonuses "stomach-turning".
