Commenting on reports that the US issued a diplomatic protest over Britain’s decision to drop the investigation into alleged bribery by BAE, Liberal Democrat Leader Menzies Campbell said:
“American dismay at the British decision to discontinue the BAE investigation is a grave embarrassment to the Prime Minister.
“Reports that the UK has been trying to undermine the OECD investigation into these allegations only serve to underline the grubby and squalid nature of this whole matter.”
