The editor of the Daily Mail has been recalled to give further evidence to an inquiry into press standards.
Paul Dacre, the last Fleet Street editor to go before the Leveson Inquiry, will face more questions on accusations by the actor, Hugh Grant.
Previously, Dacre accused Grant of making "mendacious smears" after he claimed a Mail on Sunday story came from illicit eavesdropping.
On Monday, Dacre said he knew of no cases of phone hacking at the Mail.
Dacre, also editor-in-chief of Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Mail and the Mail on Sunday, said he would withdraw the "smears" statement if Grant withdrew his claims that the Daily Mail or Mail on Sunday were involved in phone hacking.
Dacre is expected to return for no more than 30 minutes of questioning later this week.
Times editor James Harding and Dominic Mohan, the Sun's editor, have also been recalled to give further evidence, and will appear later on Tuesday.
Harding is expected to be questioned about allegations of email hacking at his paper.

Police are investigating claims that a Times journalist accessed the emails of Lancashire detective Richard Horton in 2009 to unmask him as the author of the anonymous NightJack blog.
Meanwhile, Mohan is likely to be asked about the Sun's Page 3 topless models.
Others giving evidence include Ronald Zink, of Bing, Baroness Buscombe, the former chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, Colin Crowell from Twitter and Neil Tucker of the BPPA.
Baroness Buscombe stood down as PCC chairman last year after a backlash over the watchdog's handling of the phone-hacking scandal at the now-closed News of the World.
