James Murdoch has resigned as a director of the companies which publish The Sun and The Times, according to documents filed with Companies House.

The son of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch stepped down from the boards of News Group Newspapers - publisher of The Sun - and Times Newspapers Limited - which publishes the Times and Sunday Times - in September, the papers reveal.

NGN was the publisher of the now-defunct News of the World, which is at the centre of allegations over phone-hacking.
