He does NOT sound happy.

Gavin Williamson was fired as defence secretary for his alleged connection to the leaked information

The former defence secretary called for a ‘proper, full and impartial’ investigation into it, after he was fired over his alleged involvement in the disclosure about potential contracts with tech giant Hauwei. He said he had spoken to the Cabinet Office regarding the nature of the material discussed in the meeting and had taken legal advice.‘Any organisation has the right to conduct an internal investigation into conduct in the workplace. It is not a matter for the police unless a crime is alleged.

‘No crime has been alleged by the owner of the material and I am clear that the leak did not cause damage to the public interest at a level at which it would be necessary to engage misconduct in a public office. It would be inappropriate to carry out a police investigation in these circumstances.’
