LONDON — Britain’s former defense secretary ignored repeated warnings and violated government rules of conduct by meeting dozens of times with a close friend who was allowed to sit in on meetings and participate in diplomatic events despite having no official role, according to a scathing report released Tuesday.
The report said Liam Fox showed a serious “failure of judgment” in his dealings with Adam Werrity, who had been the best man at Fox’s wedding.
Revelations about Werrity’s extraordinary access forced Fox to step down Friday, making him the highest-ranking Cabinet minister to resign from Britain’s ruling coalition.
