Wes Streeting admits that he uses disappearing messages on WhatsApp and says that he expects the rules will now be tightened up He tells @TimesRadio: '"Yes, I do have disappearing messages. I also routinely make sure that when I'm getting incoming from people, whether it's a member of parliament asking me to look into something or whether it's someone contacting me about something that's health and social care related, that I then relay that to and through the Department of Health and Social Care. 'We also publish transparency returns in terms of the meetings that we have, including meetings with journalists. There are standards of transparency and accountability. Those things matter." 'I suspect that off the back of this, there will be a reiteration of the expectations on ministers, special advisers and officials so that people are clear on the rules and expectations. People will want to tighten up on those fronts inevitably'
