Biography[]
As a Foreign Secretary, his job is to avoid international affairs on behalf of the United Kingdom. When James Bond kills two Bolivian police officers during a routine traffic stop, he has to do exactly that. He has M report about the police shooting incident in his office, and persuades her to regain control over Bond. Apparently, he is very keen to maintain a good relationship with the United States, so he forbids MI6 to further investigate against Dominic Greene. The Foreign Secretary is not to happy about it either, but he sees this as a necessary step to compete with the big players on the oil market, as the Americans still think that oil is the motive for Greene's actions.
