The defence secretary, Liam Fox, was still battling to save his ministerial career as the country's top civil servant, Sir Gus O'Donnell, launched a full inquiry into Fox's intricate links with his friend Adam Werritty, including whether he was profiting from the privileged access Fox gave him to his thinking and his ministerial diary.
Number 10 sources privately acknowledged that it would be serious for Fox if the inquiry finds he knew Werritty was making money from his access, especially because Fox has not declared this relationship to the permanent secretary at the Ministry of Defence.
In a fraught day Fox gave a Commons statement in which he repeatedly apologised to MPs for the serious mistakes he had made. He received full-throated support from the Tory backbenches.
An interim report into his conduct by MoD permanent secretary Ursula Brennan found that
since becoming defence secretary 18 months ago, Fox had met Werritty 22 times in the main MoD building and accompanied him or met him on 18 of his 48 visits abroad, including ministerial conferences and family holidays.
