The Ministry of Defence has issued to the Guardian excerpts from Liam Fox’s diary from November last year up until last month showing a range of meetings with Adam Werrity, ranging from excursions in to the MoD and social get-togethers, to his attendance at conferences abroad and departures on holiday with the secretary of state.
Also coming out of Whitehall is the text of a letter setting out the interim findings of the permanent secretary Ursula Brennan’s inquiry into the defence secretary’s meetings with Mr Werritty.
The permanent secretary says: “There has not yet been time for a thorough analysis of the evidence; this will be conducted this week.
“I have also commissioned a series of interviews with past and present members of Dr Fox’s Private Office, including special advisers, staff who travelled with the Secretary of State on relevant visits and the Secretary of State himself to confirm their recollections of the events in question.”
