The Government will be launching an internal investigation into how CCTV footage of Matt Hancock was leaked, a Cabinet minister has said.
Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis said the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) will seek to find out how the footage became public, as former cabinet ministers have said they never had cameras in their offices.
The CCTV leak led to Mr Hancock’s resignation as Health Secretary on Saturday after it exposed him in an embrace with aide Gina Coladangelo last month – breaking his own coronavirus rules.
Mr Hancock had no idea that the camera in his office existed, according to the Daily Telegraph.
