Officials documents relating to Prince Andrew's time as a trade envoy for Britain could have been destroyed, it has been reported.

According to the Daily Mail, the Government says memos, emails and cables exchanged between officials relating to visits made by the Duke of York "may no longer be retained".

The Government's "retention policy" means the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) send documents of "historical importance" to the National Archives in Kew, while anything else is traditionally destroyed.

A Freedom of Information request from biographer Andrew Lownie looked to shed light on documents from 2001 that would explained who accompanied the duke on his trade trips, his work schedule and any correspondence between officials.

Mr Lownie joins TalkTV's Kevin O'Sullivan and Alex Phillips to say the documents which show who Prince Andrew flew with on his trade trips are missing due to a “big coverup.”
