Beleaguered Secretary of State for Defence Liam Fox has admitted that it was "inappropriate" for Adam Werritty to be present at a meeting with Matthew Gould, who had yet to be appointed ambassador to Israel.

Dr Fox, a staunch friend of Israel in the Cabinet, has acknowledged that Werritty's attendance at the meeting was "inappropriate".

A visit by Werritty, then working for Dr Fox in Opposition, to a previous Herzlia conference was aided by Bicom.
