In a letter to the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee's chairwoman Dame Diana Johnson, Ms Braverman apologised for the breach but admitted that she sent official documents from her government email to her personal email address on six occasions. She said she had apologised to Rishi Sunak when she was reappointed as Home Secretary after he entered No 10 and publicly repeated that apology. "In my appointment discussion with the new Prime Minister, I raised this mistake and apologised to him, and would like to do so again here," she said. "I also gave the Prime Minister assurances that I would not use my personal email for official business and reaffirmed my understanding of and adherence to the Ministerial Code."){kind=link}
Ms Braverman apologised for the breach
Suella Braverman sent official documents to her personal email on six occasions as Home Secretary, she has admitted, as she published her version of events leading up to her resignation over a security breach.
In a letter to the Home Affairs Committee, Mrs Braverman disclosed that she transferred them to her personal email six times so she could read the documents while conducting virtual meetings and interviews on her Government phone on the move.
However, she maintained that none of the documents concerned national security, intelligence agency or cyber security matters and “did not pose any risk to national security”.
The review of her phone use by the Home Office, which uncovered the six cases, followed her resignation after she used her private email to send a confidential government document on immigration to a senior Tory MP. This was a seventh occasion she downloaded official papers to her private email.
