Information commissioner acts after concerns raised about Matt Hancock and health minister Lord Bethell
The information commissioner has launched an investigation into health ministers’ use of private emails, prompted by revelations of Matt Hancock’s use of them for government business.
The watchdog will probe the use of all private correspondence channels used by ministers – which could include tools like WhatsApp – after concerns were raised about the former health secretary’s email, as well as private emails from health minister Lord Bethell.
