OMAN’S late dictator received decades of secret advice from a group of senior figures in the British Establishment, including heads of MI6 and a foreign minister, an investigation revealed today.
The secret group of advisers, including a British oil executive, an ex-governor of the Bank of England and six members of the House of Lords, may have broken transparency rules by failing to declare their services to a foreign head of state.
The existence of the secret group was revealed last week by former Tory MP Alan Duncan in his diary, with further revelations unearthed by Declassified, an investigative news site focused on British foreign policy and the military.
