Security leak 'outrageous'

The former civil service chief outlines the seriousness of the national security leak

The national security leak is "very serious", "a complete outrage" and "beyond the pale", the former head of the civil service, Lord O'Donnell tells Today.

It comes after Tuesday's meeting of the National Security Council, when it was reported that it had agreed to allow Huawei limited access to help build Britain's new 5G network, amid warnings about possible risks to national security.
