Whitehall officials tried to convince Michael Gove to go to court to cover up the grooming scandal in 2011, according to Dominic Cummings, who was working for him at the time.

In an interview with Sky's political correspondent Liz Bates, Mr Cummings has revealed how officials in the Department for Education wanted to help efforts by Rotherham Council to stop a national newspaper from exposing the scandal.

On the Sky News Daily, Mark Austin speaks to Liz Bates about the scandal and what Mr Cummings told her.
