Mr Hancock said the head of a department should not be prosecuted for the actions of that department, branding legal processes as "chasing tabloid headlines"
Matt Hancock reportedly told lawyers he should have legal immunity over his department's failure to protect care home residents just days before his WhatsApp messages during the time were leaked to the public. The former Health Secretary is alleged to have told lawyers the entire Government should be held responsible and that he should be exempt from blame.
