Finally I have a question for the Minister. Earlier he said that he did not delete any text messages in relation to this event. An article stated that he received a text message about it on 29 December 2021 but that when a freedom of information request was submitted looking for any texts referring to this issue which would have covered that period, the FOI response came back with no texts. Does the Minister have any idea how that happened?
