THE British Government is to review the Official Secrets Act after Prime Minister Tony Blair branded ex-Cabinet minister Clare Short “irresponsible” for claiming British secret agents bugged UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.

FORMER cabinet secretary Clare Short said last night British Prime Minister Tony Blair would be a liar if he denied her claims that British agents had bugged UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's office.

British agents spied on United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan in the run-up to the Iraqi war, former British International Development Secretary Clare Short has claimed.

THE woman sacked by British intelligence and charged with breaching the Official Secrets Act spoke out last night to justify any disclosures she may have made.
