Sacked UK defence chief Williamson faced possibility of criminal probe after PM May fired him for Huawei leaks in which he has denied involvement
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May and former defence minister Gavin Williamson at a multilateral meeting of the North Atlantic Council, during the NATO summit in Brussels.
May said in a letter to Williamson that the investigation "provides compelling evidence suggesting your responsibility for the unauthorised disclosure" from the April 23 meeting of the National Security Council .This is an extremely serious matter and a deeply disappointing one," she added, with Williamson now facing the possibility of a criminal probe.
Britain's already splintered government was rocked by the scandal last month over who leaked news that May was to let Huawei develop Britain's 5G network.NSC discussions are only attended by senior ministers and security officials who first sign the Official Secrets Act that commits them to keep conversations private or risk prosecution.
She added that she was "concerned by the manner in which you have engaged with this investigation," saying his conduct "has not been of the same standard" as other members of the NSC.
