It won't stop her being summoned before the committee, but it will seriously limit the questions she can answer. She can legitimitley say that she can't comment on an ongoing police enquiry that she's involved in, or on a anything connected to pending criminal charges. It will have to wait for the trial.
The suspicion is that someone in the Metropolitan Police Service timed this to spare her a trip to Westminster.
As far as News International are concerned it will buy them some time, so they can hope everything calms down. On the other hand I think it's gone far beyond that now.
