The move caused concern among Senior Intelligence officials, who were worried he could approve operations without being given all the relevant information. A source close to mrjohnson insisted hed seen everything he needed to see. Security corresondent Gordon Correra reports. After he was appointed foreign secretary in july, 2016, downing street tried to limit borisjohnsons access to some secret intelligence, according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of events. One person attributed the attempt primarily to what they called control frea kery by number ten, rather than simply concerns over mrjohnsons discipline. A source close to mrjohnson denied there was any row about access, and said he saw everything he needed to see from his first day as foreign secretary. Officials had concerns about the attempt to withhold material, the bbc understands. They took legal advice as to whether they could sustain a position in which the foreign secretary, as minister with day to day responsibility for m16 and gchq, could authorise operations for which he might not be shown the intelligence material that was produced. One source said that excluding the foreign secretary would have been unprecedented. In the end, a compromise is believed to have been agreed. Both the Foreign Office and number ten said they did not comment on intelligence matters.
