Hoon 'attended Kelly naming strategy meeting'

Geoff Hoon was present at a meeting where Britain's Ministry of Defence’s “naming strategy” over Dr David Kelly was discussed, his head of news said today.

The UK Defence Secretary claimed he was “not party to discussions” about the strategy, which lawyers have argued led to the public naming of Dr Kelly as the source for a report that the UK government “sexed up” its weapons dossier.
