LONDON (AA): Britain’s defense secretary was asked to leave the government on Wednesday due to leaks over a contract involving Chinese cellphone maker Huawei, said a government statement.
“The prime minister has this evening asked Gavin Williamson to leave the government, having lost confidence in his ability to serve in the role of defence secretary and as a member of her cabinet,” the statement said.
It said the “decision has been informed by his conduct surrounding an investigation into the circumstances of the unauthorised disclosure of information from a meeting of the National Security Council (NSC).” May’s decision came following reports that Williamson was found responsible for a leak from the NSC meeting.
