In the wake of Dr Fox's resignation, foreign affairs correspondent Jonathan Miller reveals the links with private interests that allowed Dr Fox to run what some called 'a shadow foreign policy'.
So why did Liam Fox jump now, having toughed it out for days? Was it the growing revelations about how his friend Adam Werritty was funded?
Or was it the threat of even more damaging revelations concerning the Defence Secretary himself?
Channel 4 News has found evidence suggesting that a trust fund which Dr Fox claimed this week to have ‘created’ was actually set up and funded by a London-based corporate intelligence company. The firm, G3, counts major defence contractors – including British Aerospace – among its stellar client list.
