David Cameron has told Ed Miliband he should accept the findings of the Leveson inquiry as he was tackled over phone hacking.
Tackling the the Prime Minister over his employment of Andy Coulson as his spin doctor, the Labour leader accused him of "wilful negligence" in "bringing a criminal into Downing Street".
Ed Miliband accused the PM of "wilful negligence" But Mr Cameron hit back and accused him of being "weak" for attacking Rupert Murdoch then posing with the Sun only to apologise to Hillsborough victims a day later.
Mr Cameron admitted in the Commons he had been wrong to take on Coulson, following his conviction at the Old Bailey for phone hacking.
The PM told MPs: "I take full responsibility for employing Andy Coulson. I did so on the basis of assurances that I received.
"But I always said that if those assurances turned out to be wrong I would apologise fully and frankly to this House of Commons and I do so today from this despatch box. This was the wrong decision."
But Mr Miliband said: "Today we know that, for four years, the Prime Minister's hand-picked and closest adviser was a criminal and brought disgrace to Downing Street.
"We now also know that the Prime Minister also ignored multiple warnings about him."
Mr Miliband went on: "The truth about this is that the charge against the Prime Minister is not one of ignorance, it is wilful negligence.
"At the heart of this scandal are thousands of innocent victims of phone hacking he didn't stand up for.
"The Prime Minister will always be remembered as being the first ever occupant of his office who brought a criminal into the heart of Downing Street."
However, Mr Cameron said he was cleared of any wrongdoing by Leveson.
The PM said: "He can't bear the fact that an eight-month inquiry that he hoped was going to pin the blame on me found that I had behaved correctly throughout. That is the case.
"Every single one of these issues was dealt with exhaustively by the Leveson Inquiry.
"He looked into all of these questions about the warnings I was given and the response I gave and he made no criticism of my conduct.
"I know you were disappointed by the Leveson Inquiry but you called for it, it took place and you should heed what it said."
