Ministers in Tony Blair's government were advised to use Post-it notes for sensitive messages to avoid having to release them under new Freedom of Information, according newly-released official files.
One No 10 adviser wrote to Mr Blair suggesting Post-it notes, which could presumably then be thrown away once the message had been read, as a way of getting round the requirement.
Mr Blair subsequently regarded the FoI Act as one of his greatest mistakes as prime minister, writing in his memoirs that he had been a naive, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop.
