	Britain Secretly Built Iraqi Chemcial Warfare Plant
		Paul Channon, then trade minister, concealed the existence of the chlorine plant contract from the US administration, which was pressing for controls on such exports.
		The papers show that Mr Channon rejected a strong plea from a Foreign Office minister, Richard Luce, that the deal would ruin Britain's image in the world if news got out: "I consider it essential everything possible be done to oppose the proposed sale and to deny the company concerned ECGD cover".
		Paul Channon, since ennobled as Lord Kelvedon, was last night holidaying on the Caribbean island of Mustique.

	Thatcher backed British firm in building "chemical weapons" plant in Iraq
		He appealed to the Trade Minister Paul Channon (now Lord Kelvedon) to oppose ECGD cover being given to the contract, and explicitly stated that there was a possibility that the plant could be used towards the manufacture of chemical weaponry.
		Luce repeated the point at several meetings with Channon, the minutes of which show clearly that concerns were expressed about the possibility of the plant’s use for chemical warfare purposes.
		The concession he won from Channon in exchange for the agreement was that negotiations should continue with the US over a general ban on export of precursors.

	Dick Jones' Patteran Pages
		The decision, based on Thatcher's policy, was taken by Trade and Industry secretary Paul Channon in spite of protests from the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office minister Richard Luce.
		Channon, however, wasn't prepared to put his head too far above the parapet - he insisted the deal be kept secret and Luce, now the Queen's Lord Chamberlain, agreed.
		What a comfort it must be for our troops, facing the prospect of being gassed in the desert, to know Paul Channon, the man who quite possibly signed your death warrant, is sunning himself in the Caribbean.

	"Chips": The Diarys of Sir Henry Channon Book at Shop Ireland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		Whatever kind of bisexual, cad, and/or prototypical social-climber he was, Chips Channon was one of the three unquestionably great diarists of the 20th century (the other two being the unequalled James Lees-Milne and the runner-up Alan Clark).
		It is said that his son Paul Channon is reluctant to allow an expanded version of Chips' diaries because of the quite well-deserved scandal they would engender.
		Since Paul's political career is over, he ought to add a few more pounds to his bank balance and put all two million words of his father's diaries into print.

		I was fascinated by Channon's almost limitless access to power and glamour and, given his lacklustre Chicago provenance, his uncanny and unprecedented dual role as a pre-war Society host and wily Westminster operative.
		Channon had clinched social position and wealth with grand finality by marriage to Lady Honor Guinness, one of the ''Golden Guinness Girls'' and the eldest daughter of the second Earl of Iveagh.
		Channon, remarkably enough, was also a novelist, producing two dreary works, today only notable for their autobiographical allusions.

		Mr Channon and his officials concealed the existence of the Falluja contract not only from the British public, but also from the US administration, which was trying to curb sales of chemical warfare equipment.

		But Channon, in line with Mrs Thatcher's policy of propping up the dictator, said: "A ban would do our other trade prospects in Iraq no good".
		The British taxpayer was even forced to write a compensation cheque for £300 000 to the German-owned company after final checks on the plant, completed in May 1990, were interrupted by the outbreak of the Gulf war.

		Channon, still playing the lobby game, promptly denied that he was the source of the story.
		It was a pity that Paul Foot fell at the final fence in his otherwise impeccable canter over the course of the Lockerbie scandal, as set out in Trail of the Octopus, the book I wrote with Lester Coleman (LRB, 6 January).

		These three had all – by complete coincidence – been at university together and they were the ministers of state at the foreign office, the defence ministry and the department of trade.

		We have discovered that the plant was sold and installed by a British company in Hounslow, Uhde Ltd. British ministers in the Thatcher government knew there were clear signs of chemical warfare purpose, but gave it UK government financial backing.
		Hostile critics would undoubtedly make much of any British involvement in such a project (particularly the provision of ECGD cover)." At a meeting with Mr Channon on March 18, Mr Luce renewed his pleas.
		He added: "There were indications that the Iraqis were using chemicals again in their conflict with Iran." But Mr Channon refused.

	Indymedia UK - Response to pro-war MP
		Last Thursday, the Guardian published serious allegations about the chemical weapons plant sold to Iraq from England, cleared in secret by the then Trade and Industry Secretary, Paul Channon, and paid for by the British taxpayer through the Export Credit Guarantee Department.
		I am reminded of the still unresolved case of the dismissal of Jose Bustani from the OPCW that is brought up as a question in parliament every month since last April.
		I read in the Washington Post last year of Paul Wolfowitz's similar attempt at obtaining the dismissal of Hans Blix from Unmovic because he was perceived, like Jose Bustani, as being too effective at his job and likely to get in the way of war.

		Faced with the new accidents the transport secretary, Paul Channon, asked the public inquiry into the Clapham disaster to widen its investigations to include the Purley and Glasgow crashes.
		Even before the Clapham accident, British Rail had been examining a system called automatic train protection which would have prevented the Glasgow and Purley crashes - though not the one at Clapham.

		In one way, they may be seen as paradigmatic: expressing, in extreme form, the central idea of Western civilisation.
