SUELLA Braverman tried to cover up her leak by telling the person sent the message to delete it, an email reveals.
Casting doubt on her claims to have reported it immediately, the new revelations appear to suggest the under fire Home Secretary tried to bury it.
Emails seen by the BBC show the Home Secretary told the recipient of the highly sensitive message to ‘delete and ignore’ it
Emails seen by the BBC show she told the recipient of the highly sensitive message to “delete and ignore” it at around 10am — two and a half hours after the original breach.
But it was not until around midday that she reported it to officials.
HOAR revealed last week the “market sensitive” info included plans for a growth visa which Liz Truss hoped would help cut the deficit by £14billion.
The Home Secretary broke the ministerial code at least twice by sending the draft announcement from her personal email, to someone without clearance.
Cabinet Minister Michael Gove said it was “standard practise” to send out “delete and ignore” messages when mistakes were made.
She had resigned but was reappointed by Rishi Sunak.
Mr Gove said: “The Prime Minister made it clear that Suella deserves a second chance.
But Labour insisted national security was not safe with ‘Leaky Su’ and repeated their calls for Cabinet warnings about her reappointment to be sent to Parliament’s security committee.
