BRITISH DEFENCE MINISTER SACKED OVER HUAWEI POLICY LEAK

摘要

In a letter sent to Williamson (below), British Prime Minister Theresa May accused him of not co-operating with an inquiry set up to determine who had leaked information about Huawei to London's Telegraph newspaper. May said in her letter, published by Reuters, that the leak was "an extremely serious matter, and a deeply disappointing one". "That is why I commissioned the Cabinet Secretary to establish an investigation into the unprecedented leak from the NSC meeting last week, and why I expected everyone connected to it — Ministers and officials alike — to comply with it fully. “You undertook to do so," she wrote. "I am therefore concerned by the manner in which you have engaged with this investigation. “It has been conducted fairly, with the full co-operation of other NSC attendees. “They have all answered questions, engaged properly, provided as much information as possible to assist with the investigation, and encouraged their staff to do the same. “Your conduct has not been of the same standard as others’."
