"Freeman told the BBC that through his roles in Westminster he would "regularly ask experts for clarification on technical points and terminology", and said he was "very concerned at the targeted and unauthorised and access to my emails" which he said he had raised with police.

"Throughout my 15 years in parliament [and government] I have always understood the need to be transparent in the work I have done for and with commercial clients and charities and am always willing to answer any criticism," he said."
