Ex-Labour press chief Alastair Campbell and Simon Hughes MP have also settled with News Group Newspapers (NGN), which published the News of the World. Mr Coogan and Mr Campbell received "substantial damages" plus costs, and Mr Gascoigne was given £68,000. Mr Campbell said his action was "not, and custom nfl jerseys never has been, about the money". Mr Hughes was given £45,000 plus costs while football agent Phil Hughes has received substantial damages plus costs. Hugh Tomlinson QC told the court that his client, the singer Charlotte Church, had not reached an agreement with NGN. Mr Campbell said his settlement was a "satisfactory outcome" and that NGN had agreed to "continue searches of other 'documents in its possession' so that I can ascertain the extent of any further wrongdoing". He added: "They have agreed I 'may be entitled to further damages in certain circumstances.'" Mr Campbell said he would be using the settlement money to make donations to several organisations, including the Labour Party and Mind "so that at least some small good for the causes I believe in can come out of the criminality NHL jerseys and cultural depravity of others".
