James Murdoch has resigned as director of the companies that publish The Times, The Sunday Times, and the Sun.

Records at Companies House show James Murdoch stepped down from the boards of News Group Newspapers Limited, publisher of The Sun, and Times Newspapers Limited in September.

The news comes ahead of a key BSkyB shareholder meeting amid calls that Mr Murdoch should resign from the company.

Being on the board of directors and ceasing to be a director are two different issues. When he resigned from the board he was still a director of those companies - he has now ceased to be so.
