Gavin Williamson has been sacked as defence secretary following an inquiry into a leak from a top-level National Security Council meeting.
On Tuesday, a day before he was sacked, he said in a BBC interview that he never would, and never had, leaked anything from the NSC.
The inquiry followed reports over a plan to allow Huawei limited access to help build the UK’s new 5G network.
Mr Williamson, who has been defence secretary since 2017, “strenuously” denies leaking the information.
