Debate

Lord Mandelson Humble Address

Contribution

My Lords, the guidance on ministerial use of NCCCs— non-corporate communication channels—is clear for all Ministers and is part of the Ministerial Code, which states: “‘Disappearing message’ functions have a role in limiting the build up of messages on devices. You must ensure that any such use does not impact on your recordkeeping or transparency responsibilities”. There is a difference between storing material that relates to decision-making and the output of policy-making and keeping messages that may relate to gossip.
