LONDON ? The BBC says the former editor of the News of the World received payments from the newspaper while working as an aide to Conservative leader David Cameron.
Andy Coulson resigned from the now-defunct tabloid early in 2007 after a reporter and a private investigator were jailed for hacking into the voicemails of royal staff.
Six months later he was hired as communications chief to Cameron, then Britain's opposition leader. Cameron became prime minister in May 2010.
The BBC, without giving its source, reported Tuesday that Coulson continued to receive severance pay from the paper until the end of 2007.
Coulson denied knowing about phone hacking, but resigned from Downing St. in January after police reopened their inquiry.
The newspaper's parent company declined to comment.
