Dominic Asquith

Dominic Asquith was Director Iraq in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office from 2004 to 2006 and subsequently served as the British Ambassador in Baghdad.Transcript of Dominic Asquith hearing, Iraq Inquiry, 4 December 2009.
More recently Asquith was HM Ambassador to Libya. He retired from the Crown Service in March 2013. 
==Post civil service career==
===Libyan consultancy===
In June 2013 Asquith took up a part time, paid appointment as senior consultant with Tatweer Research, a Libyan research and development company, specialising in technology and engineering. 
When considering his application for this role, ACOBA noted:
:that the appointment was likely to include contact with Sir Dominic’s Department/Government and that Sir Dominic had had official contact with the Chief Executive of Tatweer Research, although not with the company itself. The Committee also noted that Sir Dominic had not had contractual dealings with his prospective employer, had not had access to commercially sensitive information about competitors, and had not been involved in the development or administration of policy that could affect Tatweer Research or its competitors. 
:The Foreign Secretary accepted the Committee’s recommendation that, the six month moratorium for Ambassadors having expired, the application should be approved subject to the conditions that:
:- Sir Dominic should not draw on privileged information available to him as a Crown servant; and
:- for two years from his last day of service, Sir Dominic should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK Government on behalf of his new employer or its clients.
The same month, Asquith took up another part-time, albeit unpaid appointment as Member of the Board of Advisers and Senior Fellow of the Institute of Statecraft
:When considering this application, the Committee took into account that the appointment was unlikely to include contact or dealings with Sir Dominic’s former department/Government. They noted that Sir Dominic had met the Director of the Institute during study visits, but that he had not had contractual dealings with the Institute, had not had access to commercially sensitive information about competitors, and had not been involved in the development of any policy related to the Institute or its competitors.
:The Foreign Secretary accepted the Committee’s advice that, the six month moratorium on Ambassadors having business dealings with the country of their last posting having already expired, the application be approved subject to the condition that:
:- for two years from his last day of service, Sir Dominic should not become personally involved in lobbying the UK Government on behalf of his new employer or its clients.

Dominick Donald

:Dominick Donald is a Senior Analyst for AEGIS, a British specialist security and risk management company. He has previously worked as a Programme Officer at the UN, a Leader Writer at The Times, and a Contributing Editor at Red Herring Magazine. He received a PhD in War Studies from King’s College London.Publications: Whitehall Papers:After The Bubble: British Private Security Companies After Iraq, 25 July 2006.
==Views==
:In a paper published by RUSI, Aegis analyst Dominick Donald argues that "the Iraqi private security market is clearly maturing: more discerning clients and a number of well-established providers mean lower bids and tighter margins. If these trends hold true, then security contracts are likely to be smaller and less worth the effort of larger, well-established PSCs [private security companies] with substantial overheads."
:Donald's pamphlet "After the Bubble: British Private Security Companies After Iraq" is remarkably candid about the options for the sector. One of its proposals is that private security companies should target humanitarian aid as an area of expansion.
:"Humanitarian and development assistance will increasingly be more closely tied to government policy," Donald argues. "This is a natural political extension of the fact that GWOT [Global War on Terror] will increasingly involve the UK's targeted use of soft power, of which humanitarian and development assistance is a perfect example."
:Donald believes this will eventually lead to a falling-out between aid agencies and the governments that provide much of their funding:
:"The sector's insistence on retaining the perception of political neutrality and humanitarian impartiality means that it is extremely reluctant to be in any way associated with government activity. Many would therefore see participation in a planning process as jeopardizing their independent status.
:"Yet none of this holds true for PSCs. Might there then be an opportunity for the private sector, which would be far readier to work to government's directions?"
:Remarkably, the main thrust of Donald's argument is not that PSCs can operate in areas too dangerous for aid agencies. Instead, the key selling point of PSCs is precisely that they need not "deliver assistance impartially on the basis of need."
:This is a suggestion so cynical that it is surprising to find it committed to paper. Clearly, if aid budgets are diverted to PSCs delivering programs driven by geopolitical considerations, the logical corollary is that real humanitarian priorities will go unmet.Mercenaries Look Beyond Iraq, by Tom Griffin, Antiwar.com, 31 October 2006.
