Fox’s legal threat over leak of letters to leader

THE "cowardly" person or persons responsible for the damaging leaks of Liam Fox's private letters to David Cameron could face court action, the Defence Secretary suggested yesterday.

In September, Dr Fox was at the centre of a political storm after a private letter he wrote to the Prime Minister was made public. It said swingeing defence cuts could hurt the morale of the armed services.
