The Department has conducted a search of communication records and found no record of WhatsApp or text messages between the former Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Lord Bethell) and any employee of Abingdon Health. Nor has the Department found any record of officials having sight of any such messages. The Department’s engagement with Abingdon Health was led by officials and these communications have been retained.
