Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)
The noble Lord will be aware, as are all Members of your Lordships’ House, that Morgan McSweeney is no longer in post, and, with the greatest respect, neither I nor he would have known what was being published at any point in any such tranche. I reassure the House that the Government have complied with the humble Address but, as was previously set out, it remains the case that a subset of documents is subject to an ongoing police investigation.
Baroness Northover (LD)
My Lords, is the Minister aware that the previous Government also operated a system of disappearing messages?
Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)
I think it is fair to say that there are many Members of your Lordships’ House who use disappearing messages. There are also many Members of both this Administration and the previous one who use WhatsApp far too often, which is why are undertaking a review of how NCCCs will be used by this and future Governments.
