James Murdoch, News Corp.’s deputy chief operating officer, is cutting some of his ties to London ahead of a move to New York that was delayed amid a phone-hacking scandal that engulfed the U.K. business.

Murdoch, the son of News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, is leaving the board of London-based GlaxoSmithKline Plc after less than three years, the U.K. drugmaker said yesterday. Murdoch’s strategy adviser for Europe, Matthew Anderson, is stepping down and moving to San Francisco, News Corp. said separately.
