MoD's technique relies too much on the interviewer not being sufficiently briefed. CAS must have known that his staff are leaking papers and e-mails on this BAME/women issue left, right and centre. He authored a report on the subject, and it's in the public domain, so fair game to the media. Is he stupid, or is someone not briefing him just exactly what orders have been issued on the subject, in his name?
The trouble MoD has is remembering who has lied about what. If the subject hadn't been so serious, its performance in court in the Jon Bayliss case was hysterical high farce. When exposed after the event, the law prevented the court from taking action. That's left to members of the public, as is the case with the current issue. MoD is in no position to complain. It should come clean.
