UK Conservatives demand answers over Morgan McSweeney phone theft
Downing Street chiefs must produce implicated phone messages to Parliament
Change
UK's House of Commons has bound Morgan McSweeney to deliver his mobile-phone messages to MPs under a humble address requiring disclosure.
Why it matters
Parliamentary procedure now requires the phone messages to be lodged with MPs for review. The disclosure obligation removes private control of the device messages and places them within the Commons' evidential remit.
Implications
