Mr. Werritty has been welcomed by Dr Fox 22 times at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in the year and a half since his friend took over there, usually with no one else present. They have also met on 18 foreign trips made by the defence secretary during that period. When the revelations of their engagements surfaced on October 7th, Dr Fox asked Ursula Brennan, the top civil servant at the MoD, to investigate whether there had been any breach of the code of behaviour that ministers are expected to follow. The main question facing the inquiry is whether Mr Werritty, whose work and earnings are unclear, has profited from his contacts with Dr Fox. Dr Fox has impressed as a minister by striving to impose order on perhaps the most chaotic department in Whitehall. He is assiduously shedding civil servants and wants to fix the procurement process to avoid exorbitant cost overruns. All of this will probably not be enough to save Dr Fox, however, if Ms Brennan uncovers evidence that Mr Werritty profited from his access to the minister.
