'Given that the journalist in question remains on bail for further offences, we do not intend to give any further information at this point.'
Mr Thurlbeck responded by thanking his family, friends and former colleagues for their 'unswerving loyalty, support and continued belief in me'.
The veteran journalist is a central figure in the phone hacking inquiry, as it has been claimed he is the man referred to in the 'For Neville' email sent by a junior reporter to private investigator Glenn Mulcaire.
Mr Thurlbeck has denied knowing about the contents of the message, which featured transcripts of voicemails.
