The former health secretary claims that journalist Isabel Oakeshott broke a non-disclosure agreement that she would only use his WhatsApp messages as background material to help him write his book.

The two parties are the information provider, or the disclosing party, and the recipient - the person being given the information.Most commonly they are used by businesses or organisations when hiring a new employee, contractor or consultant to protect sensitive information that person will be privy to in their role.

First the information provider may send a cease-and-desist letter to stop any further disclosures, but if that doesn't work they can sue the recipient for damages or get a court injunction.The Telegraph claims it has read 2.3 million words and will be making further revelations about other parts of the government's COVID policy as part of its 'The Lockdown Files' investigation.
