I'm aware this issue has been prominent in US politics. In the UK, hopefully a public inquiry on the pandemic response is held and the rules on public inquiry allow for such emails to searched.

I think it would be wise for guidance on ministers' use of private emails to be made law.(1)

Hancock should have been sacked a while ago. I'm amazed he made it this far in the job.
