Health minister explains his GDPR principles
The health minister says he destroys all his correspondence once its purpose has been fulfilled, in line with data protection rules.
David Ashford had read out an anonymously-authored letter, claimed to be sent from one of the testing team.
It was as a rebuttal to media for focus on the resignation of a leading testing scientist.
An FOI later revealed it was destroyed.
The minister explained more in a heated exchanged with Paul Moulton of Isle of Man Television:
