Based on evidence from Prof MacLeod, ex-Cabinet minister Priti Patel – who resigned in November last year - today accused senior officials at DFID of being part of the cover up.
Ms Patel said senior DFID staff tried to talk her out of making a critical speech about aid workers’ sex abuse, arguing that it was only by UN soldiers and to claim otherwise was “over-stepping the mark”.

Priti Patel's cabinet future in doubt over Israel trip row
8 November 2017
Priti Patel has left No 10 via the back door after talks with the PM to find out if she will be sacked amid controversy over meetings with Israeli ministers.
The international development secretary was ordered by the PM to cut short an African trip to fly back to the UK.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said a source told her that Ms Patel would rather resign than be sacked.
Ms Patel apologised about meetings with Israeli politicians in August
