Sir Mark Allen is a former MI6 officer.[1]

Allen was a key figure in negotiations which led to Libya's renunciation of weapons of mass destruction in 2003.[2]

According to The Times, Allen left MI6 'in high dudgeon' because of the misue of intelligence in the run-up to the Iraq war.[3]

In 2005, Allen accompanied BP chief executive Lord Browne to meet Colonel Gadaffi.[4]

Allen lobbied Jack Straw on 15 November and 9 November 2007, while working as a consultant for BP, who were negotiating an oil deal with Libya.[5]
