Adam Werritty

Answer

[holding answer 18 October 2011]: I refer the hon. Members to the Cabinet Secretary's report published on 18 October 2011. The report refers to contact between Mr Adam Werritty and two Ministry of Defence (MOD) Ministers: the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State and Government spokesperson (Lord Astor of Hever) and the Under-Secretary of State for International Security Strategy, my hon. Friend the Member for Aldershot (Mr Howarth).Lord Astor had occasional social contact with Mr Werritty: contact as a result of their previous involvement with the Atlantic Bridge; and contact in passing when visiting Bahrain for the Manama Dialogue in December 2010. None of these meetings involved official MOD business.Mr Howarth has met Adam Werritty on three occasions, two of which were large social gatherings. Adam Werritty was also present at a meeting between Mr Howarth and a representative of IRG Ltd regarding information that could be useful to the Department relating to Iraq. The discussion centred on the economic and political landscape in Iraq. No further contact or action has taken place.
