The Information commissioner is seeking an urgent meeting with the Head of the Civil Service, David Sterling, over claims he made that meetings with Ministers weren't always minuted to thwart Freedom of Information requests.

The startling revelation came on Tuesday when David Sterling was giving evidence to the RHI inquiry. 

Mr. Sterling told the RHI Inquiry that civil servants got into the habit of not recording meetings as it was "safer" not to have a record of what was said. He added the DUP and Sinn Fein were sensitive to criticism. The revelation has provoked an angry response from other political parties.
