Have files on Prince Andrew's controversial role as Britain's SEX trade envoy been destroyed?
[MAIL] Official documents that could shed light on Prince Andrew's controversial role as Britain's trade envoy may have been destroyed.

The Government has admitted that memos, emails and cables sent between officials about the Duke of York's foreign visits when he was a roving trade ambassador 'may no longer be retained'.

Under a so-called 'retention policy', the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) send documents of 'historical importance' to the National Archives in Kew, south-west London, or destroy them.

Last night, former diplomat Simon Wilson, who was involved with a number of Andrew's trade envoy visits while at the British embassy in Bahrain in the early 2000s, said: 'The Duke of York was directly employed by the Government and details of his visits should be in the public domain.'
