London Mayor Boris Johnson says of the resignation of Sir Paul Stephenson and John Yates: "Both decisions are regrettable but the right call has been made. Nothing has been proven against the probity or professionalism of either man. But both were distracting in the run-up to the Olympic Games." He also said Mr Yates would be replaced by Cressida Dick and he praised Mr Yates for his work in fighting terrorism and "saving millions of Londoners".

"Two things seem to have done for John Yates. He was the man charged with reviewing the hacking evidence. He only took eight hours to do that. And he was the man in charge of due diligence on Neil Wallis as PR contractor. It was that man who did for Paul Stephenson and it's almost certainly what has led to the resignation of John Yates."
