பிரித்தானிய பாதுகாப்பு அமைச்சர் லியாம் பொக்ஸின் இலங்கை விஜயத்தின்போது, அவரின் நெருங்கிய நண்பர் ஒருவரும் பயணித்தமை தொடர்பாக அமைச்சர் லியாம் பொக்ஸ் நெருக்கடியில் சிக்கியுள்ளார்.

34 வயதான அடம் வெரைட்டி என்பவர் லியாம்பொக்ஸுடன் ஒரே தொடர்மனையில் வசித்ததுடன் லியாம் பொக்ஸின் திருமணத்தின்போது மாப்பிள்ளைத் தோழராகவும் விளங்கியவர். அவர் பிரித்தானிய பாதுகாப்பு அமைச்சை பயன்படுத்தி லியாம்பொக்ஸின் உத்தியோகபூர்வ இலங்கை விஜயத்தில் பங்குபற்றியமை குறித்து பிரித்தானிய பத்திரிகைகள் செய்தி வெளியிட்டன.

பிரித்தானிய இராணுவத்தினருக்கு உபகரணங்களை விற்கும் நிறுவமொன்றுடன் துபாயில் கடந்த ஜுன் மாதம் நடைபெற்ற சந்திப்பொன்றில் தனது நண்பர் வெரைட்டியுடன் லியாம்பொக்ஸ் பங்குபற்றியதாகவும் அதில் பிரித்தானிய பாதுகாப்பு அமைச்சு அதிகாரிகள் எவரும் பங்குபற்றவில்லை எனவும் விமர்சிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.

இப்பயணத்தினால் பிரிட்டனின் தேசிய பாதுகாப்பு சமரசத்திற்கு உட்படுத்தப்பட்டிருக்கலாம் என சிலர் விமர்சித்துள்ளனர். ஜனாதிபதி மஹிந்த ராஜபக்ஷவை லியாம் பொக்ஸ் கடந்த வருடம் லண்டனில் சந்தித்தபோதும் அடம் வெரைட்டி உடனிருந்தாகவும் லியாம் பொக்ஸுடன் இலங்கைக்கு வந்ததாகவும் செய்தி வெளியாகியுள்ளது.

அடம் வெரைட்டி தன்னுடன் உத்தியோகபூர்வ பயணத்தில் பங்குபற்றவில்லை என பிரித்தானிய நாடாளுமன்றத்தில் கேட்கப்பட்ட கேள்வியொன்றுக்கு லியாம் பொக்ஸ் பதிலளித்திருந்தமை குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது. ’திரு வெரைட்டி பாதுகாப்பு அமைச்சின் ஓர் ஊழியர் அல்லர். எனவே அவர் என்னுடன் எந்தவொரு உத்தயோகபூர்வ விஜயத்திலும் பங்குபற்றவில்லை’ என அமைச்சர் லியாம் பொக்ஸ் கூறியிருந்தார்

ஆனால் இது தொடர்பாக வெளிவந்த புகைப்படங்கள், மின்னஞ்சல், வீடியோ ஆதாரங்கள் லியாம் பொக்ஸை நெருக்கடிக்குள்ளாக்கியுள்ளன. இலங்கை அரச தொலைக்காட்சியொன்றில் வெளியான வீடியோ காட்சிகளையும் பிரித்தானிய பாதுகாப்பு அமைச்சரின் உத்தியோகபூர்வ சந்திப்புகளில் அவரின் நன்பர் பங்குபற்றியமைக்கான ஆதாரரமாக பிரித்தானிய ஊடகங்கள் முன்வைத்துள்ளன.

இந்நிலையில் தன்மீதான குற்றச்சாட்டு தொடர்பாக பாதுகாப்பு அமைச்சு ரீதியான விசாரணை யொன்றுக்கும் அமைச்சர் லியாம் பொக்ஸ் உத்தரவிட்டுள்ளார். இவ்விவகாரம் தொடர்பாக நாளை திங்கட்கிழமை அறிக்கை சமர்ப்பிக்குமாறு அமைச்சர் லியர் பொக்ஸுக்கு பிரித்தானிய பிரதமர் டேவிட் கமெரோன் உத்தரவிட்டுள்ளதாக பிரித்தானிய பிரதமரின் பேச்சாளர் ஒருவர் தெரிவித்துள்ளார்.

இதில் எது அதிசயம்?

டஏற்கனவே இவர் லஞ்சம் பெற்றார் என உறுதிப்படுத்தப்படடது தானே?

இந்த இலஞ்சாபிகேசத்திற்கு பின்னால் சிங்களம் மட்டுமா இல்லை சீனாவும் இருந்திருக்குமா? அதாவது சீனா சிங்களம் ஊடாக சில மேற்குலக இரகசியங்களை அறிந்திருக்கலாமா?

மிகப்பெரிய களவானியா நீயு பார்த்ப்போவே நினைச்சேன் என்ன அடிகடி ஸ்ரீலங்கா போய்வருகிறாரே என்னென்னு பாத்தா பயங்கர மோசமான திருட்டு பயன் மகனா நீ ரிப்டப்பா வெளிக்கிட்டு பாத்தாலே பத்திகிட்டு வருகுது

இவங்களெல்லாம் எப்படி அரசியலுக்கு வந்திருப்பாங்கள் ஜோசித்து பாருங்கள்

Serious mistakes were made by Defence Secretary Liam Fox in his working relationship with friend Adam Werritty, Downing Street has said.

Mr Fox apologised to MPs for the controversy, insisting that at no time was national security put at risk.

In a statement, he said he met the businessman 22 times - more than previously stated - at the Ministry of Defence and 18 times on foreign trips.

He told the Commons these meetings and trips with Mr Werritty would now end.

Mr Werritty, 34, was Mr Fox's best man in 2005 and a former flatmate and also used to carry cards describing himself as an adviser to "the Rt Hon Liam Fox MP".

He also brokered meetings for Mr Fox and accompanied him on foreign trips, apparently holding meetings without civil servants present.

In total, Mr Werritty spent time with the defence secretary on more a third of his overseas visits - 18 out of 48 - since he came to office in May 2010.

Mr Fox, who denies wrongdoing, set up a Ministry of Defence inquiry into his conduct on Friday. He said on Monday Mr Werritty would give evidence to the inquiry soon.

Prime Minister David Cameron has discussed the findings of an interim report on the inquiry with Mr Fox, a Downing Street spokesman said following the defence secretary's statement.

David Cameron: Liam Fox does "excellent job"

The spokesman said: "It is clear, as Liam Fox himself said yesterday, that serious mistakes were made in allowing the distinction between professional responsibilities and personal loyalties to be blurred - and this has clearly raised concerns about impropriety and potential conflicts of interest."

He said that while the initial conclusion was that no classified or other defence-related official information was discussed with, or given to, Mr Werritty, it was clear "much tighter procedures" were needed in the department to make sure the Ministerial Code was adhered to.

The prime minister is not expected to make a final decision on Mr Fox's future until he sees the full report due on 21 October

'Sorry'

In his statement to the Commons, Mr Fox revealed Mr Werritty, who he met in 1998, had initially worked as a paid intern in his office and later carried out research work, earning a total of £5,800.

Beyond that, he said there had never been a payment from the government.

He also detailed the meetings involving Mr Werritty that had taken place in Dubai and Sri Lanka.

But his apology may make little difference to whether or not he survives in his post.

What will determine his fate is not the extent of his apology, or indeed whether he has breached the ministerial code - it will be determined by whether the prime minister believes Mr Fox can carry on as defence secretary.

If Mr Cameron takes the view that Mr Fox is now too damaged, or unlikely to be able to focus fully on his job, or there are further allegations to emerge, he may decide he has to go.

Central to that decision is the interim report on Mr Fox and the nature of the media coverage.

In short, Mr Fox's fate still hangs in the balance.

He told MPs: "I accept that it was a mistake to allow distinctions to be blurred between my professional responsibilities and my personal loyalties to a friend and, Mr Speaker, I am sorry for this.

"I have apologised to the prime minister, to the public and at the first opportunity available, to the House."

He added: "Mr Werritty was never present at regular departmental meetings, during private meetings we did not discuss either commercial or defence matters.

"He had no access to classified documents, nor was he briefed on classified matters."

But he added: "I accept, with the benefit of hindsight I should have taken greater care to ensure a more transparent separation of government, party political and private business and that meetings were properly recorded to protect myself and government from any suggestion of wrongdoing.

"Again, I accept my personal responsibility for this."

Mr Fox said Mr Werritty would make no more private visits to the MoD, would not attend international conferences where he was present and they would not meet socially abroad when Mr Fox was on official busines
